Soooo many indicators show our economy is on the rise. I even read an article today that it's ready to take off. So why does it still feel like it's crappy? Why does it still feel like we're in a recession? Does anyone else just roll their eyes when the Obama administration tries to put a positive spin on the unemployment stats? So many folks have been unemployed so long that they've given up trying!

Mitt Romney campaigned on his "job creationisity." The GOP seems to desire to beat Obama down on certain issues like the economy. Yet... Since the election... Hardly anything is being said about it.

From the Democrats? I can understand. They like to focus on lil stats and put a positive spin on it.
From the GOP? Why have they suddenly gone silent on this issue?

Why are we talking about Libya, gay marriage, Egypt, and immigration and not the economy? Have both political parties essentially just, "given up" on this issue?
 
Well the recession is "over" as soon as it hits bottom and starts going back up, but we're all still at that low point. **** still sucks all over.
 
I think people are going to come to the realization that this is the new norm. Unfortunately, without major reform or some kind of leap in technology I don't see this getting too much better.

The economy won't feel better until labor is back in demand and everyone can start negotiating real raises again.

Question: Why do you think the republicans spent four years obstructing every jobs plan and highway bill Obama pushed forward, and went on that nonsense tax cut mantra followed by cut the tax cuts mantra?

Answer: To keep everyone miserable so Obama would lose.

Oh come on. Just ask Pearl about nanotechnology. That should save us.

I hear this line around the office all the time. It's bizarre since we're in the middle of the greatest technological boom ever. The internet alone is the printing press on steroids, supercharged, and rocket boosters on top.

It sounds like you're upset about something.

Please, tell us more about how you're feeling.

Fair enough.

I'm upset that our country is still in a crap hole. This isn't a R vs D issue. But an American issue. I read the employment reports and just laugh. What unemployment at now? 7.6%? But even the bluest democrat knows that many Americans have completely fallen out of the workforce. We are creating new jobs!!! Yay!!! But it's at a rate that is barely keeping up with population growth. And the jobs being created are either part time, suck, or aren't good paying jobs... Or all 3!

I'm just wondering if we are becoming "content" with this crappy state of the economy, of high unemployment, low benefits, low paying, and no job security.

Perhaps this is being felt globally and isn't just an "American" Phenomenon?

I don't care who it is. Obama or d bag cp3, bring back the early 2000s or 90s! Most of this century has sucked!
