Long time recession plus recession

  Double Dip Recession (see link)
  
  I’m out their every day talking to companies, owners and workers ….they know, you blind Liberals know just can’t except the facts, the unemployed know, retired …we all know it.
  The only people that do not are the Socialist Asshole that follows the Public Servant Obama failed agenda to destroy our country.
  
  Those in DC need to go starting with Congress and Senator that have voted for the failure progress and bills of the Obama Administration.

  How did Alan Greenspan just describe it? Oh yeah he calls it a "temporary pause" in the recovery. Pause? Recovery? Anyone out there seeing any signs in your neck of the wooods that we are in a recovery?

  Hey! You Obama Butt Buddies on the Chatter tell me where you're seeing a recovery or improvement in anything. Remind yourself not to blame Bush he been out of office for 20 months and your Socialist Public Servant has been in office doing his best to be the worst. What we see today and the projected future is Obama best efforts.

  Yep my 401K went from a 101K under Bush to just about back where it started.

  looked lately?...May and June have not been good
• I Wear Pants

  Hasn't consumer spending been rising? I guess that's good.
  
  Of course we still have a lot more ground to cover before we're fully recovered.
  
  Edit: Anecdotal evidence but my dad sells cold rolling mills/equipment and this year has been significantly better than last year so far.
• Bigdogg

  Yep, when they got back even I repositioned my accounts and I am doing fine now. Plus I have 20 more years before I retire so I am not too concerned. Hope you are not one of the fools who cashed out when they tanked. I know several people who did and lost a ton of money.

  You better cash out before the dollar collapses. There will be no recovering from that.

  Go ahead Buck and don't forget to build your bomb shelter for the coming Armageddon.

  U6 unemployment at a staggering 18%, yet obama/pelosi/reid only continue to assault business and producers.
  
  Absolutely stunning.
  
  Change we can believe in ..................

  You're right. What was I thinking? Everything is fine. Successful people always spend two or three times as much money as they bring in and just borrow the difference. There will always be someone to lend them money, right?

  Me too. Took advantage of dollar cost averaging when the market tanked and actually made 4% from the beginning of the crash. Took some losses in June though. What would really help would be some stability in tax policy. Extending the Bush tax cuts would go along way...I know you won't agree with that knowing what side of the political spectrum you are on. But there's a pretty good article in the mainstream media today. What's really needed is too keep taxes down and for government to tighten its belt and reign in spending.

  We're seeing recovery in the Milwaukee area. Things aren't booming, for sure, but we appear to be on the upswing. Ohio probably isn't the best bellweather for the rest of the country.

  Nope just lots of fools listening to FOX, Rush and friends. Market up 200 points today.

  When unemployment drops down to 4 or 5% I guess the newly re-employed will share your market enthusiasm.

  I love how damned sure you are that the outcome of the elections will be what you think.
  
  I have no idea how it's going to play out yet.

  I disagree. BHO does care about it. It gives him a chance to confiscate the money and redistribute it to his voting base.

  Here let me help you. The Repubs will probably control the House after November and kick Princess Pelosi's fugly San Francisco ass back to House Minority Leader status. The Dems will likely retain control of the Senate but just by a scant few votes which means filibuster city for any outrageous bills the Dems attempt to introduce. You can also be relatively certain that Dingy Harry Reid will be standing in the unemployment lines.
  
  It won't be a coup d'etat by the Repubs but I'll sleep a hell of a lot better at night starting in January 2011.

  You may be right about the elections (it would be the 1st time on here) but don't count your chickens before they hatch. I personally am more interested in getting people into Congress and the Senate that are actually tiring to do the right things for the country then benefiting one party (or themselves) over the others. I do not see getting more of the current hijacked Republican party that got us into this mess back into power the best answer.

  Do you really and honestly think that it was only the republican party that got us in the mess we're in now?
  Do you really and honestly think that we're only in this mess because of 8 years?
  
  Or are you so wrapped up in party lines that your words are just that ingrained in your mind?
  Or, better yet, are you just soley interested in getting a one-up on the finger pointing propoganda?

  Who beside you say that one party is more responsible then the other? Certainly that's not what I said. I did point out the fact we are here under the Republican party's fiscal policy's starting with poster boy Ronald Reagan and including Bush I and II. I will take the deficits and economy under Clinton all day over those three ass clowns. The jury is still out on Obama, but it is not looking good because he seems to be Bush the III so far.
• CenterBHSFan

  

  I agree that Obama is just a continuation of what we've seen for years and years (decades).
  
  I don't know. I guess it's just monotonous and boring to see "the democrats did this and the republicans did that" all the time.
  When in fact, both parties have been walking hand in hand as far as corruption, spending and futility, just in different ways. They do meet in the middle.
  
  Personally, I tend to focus more on democrats because that is my habitual party and I would like to enjoy better out of them. It would be nice to see that out of the republicans too, but they're obviously #2 on my list.
  
  Then again, if I could change everybody's point of view and finger pointing, we wouldn't have much use for a poli-forum, eh?
  LOL

  Minorities here are facts that you need to understand …Obama has done less for the minorities. Seem that you been had ( the famous words of Malcom X “YOU CHUMP&#8221 and many of you still don’t see it.
  The January 2009 numbers from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics is bleak. Nearly 12.6 per cent of all black Americans have lost their jobs since January 2008. Contrast that with 9.7 per cent of Hispanics and only 6.9 percent of white Americans.
  June 2010 numbers from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment whites 8.6 percent, blacks 15.4 percent and Hispanics 12.4 percent.
  
  not going to get any better for minorities anytime soon.... nor will it get better for anyone else

  It's safe to say that both parties have been hijacked.

  There are very few good guys in DC. And very few will come from the Dems, and Reps in this next election. Not the Tea Party, Libertarians, or the supposed all important Independents can change that either.
