Juan, you are absolutely, 100% correct!

Celtic.

Simple question. Do you believe the Democrats have any culpability (even the slightest percentage) as it relates to the poor condition of the finances of the peoples money?

I believe both parties have screwed the pooch. (That's bi-partisan)

You?

Juanita, " I believe all Americans should remember this when they go to the polls next November when these self serving politicans come expecting you to vote them back in."

Juanita, Americans did remember in November 2008, too bad all you sore losers can't accept their decision.

"These are the things that we need to vividly remember (regardless of party) come next November!"

I believe all Americans should remember this when they go to the polls next November when these self serving politicans come expecting you to vote them back in.

"This thing is far from over and one small indicator is not enough to say "we're out of the woods". Tomorrow someone will have a different story, so brace yourself."

Truer words were never spoken, Gregg Moe.

This depression/recession is following exactly the same program as the 1981/82 version. The big differences are that this one was primarily caused by the U.S. government (Congress & the Presidents) (destruction & bankruptcy of the auto companies & non-regulation of the mortgage & credit markets) AND (Wall Street, the mortgage industry, the ginormous banks, & insurance companies), AND the amount of wealth stolen from all of us is incalculable.

The fuzzy-warm drivel we keep hearing from the same greedy crooks who gambled-away our children's futures sounds the same as it did during the depths of that 1981/82 recession. It comes from the cabal of Wall Street types who inhabit the U.S. Treasury department and the Federal Reserve - most of whom came straight from Goldman-Sachs beginning with Bill Clinton's first term and continuing unabated to this day (they bought their way in). Congressional types like Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and others putter-around with these guys packed-into their pockets, muttering their financial BS for them.

These are the things that we need to vividly remember (regardless of party) come next November!

Prosperity will return after businesses, large and small, are relieved of their mandate of supplying health care for Americans. Then they will be able to compete with companies whose workers' healthcare costs are not part of the price of the actual goods.

Also, instead of workers' raises all going to insanely escalating health care costs (as happened over the last 10 years), the workers will actually be able to put that extra money in their pockets.

Break up the monopolies of health care insurance and the gouging oil companies will be a real start.

How's your mom's basement these days?

The depression will end when the Germans over run France and start bombing London!

Make no mistake.. Both Democrats and Republicans are responsible for this mess... They did it while you were at work supporting your family and paying your taxes.. That fictional American dream..

The recession will end when everyone gets free health care, unemployment for life and food stamps! All brought to us by our new Owner.........CHINA.. Wake up people!!

And where was their "control" when they were in power. They are the ones who got us in this mess. How EASILY you have forgotten that detail.

Where are the jobs to lead us out of this recession. People need quality jobs with benefits to be able to buy new cars and houses plus new furnishings. Not too many cars or houses are bought with a Mcdonalds and the like jobs. I think we are headed for worse times. I think they just try to manipulate us into think it's getting better. There is no evidence of that. What we added a few more Mcdonalds jobs. Thje stock market is going up, just makes the 10% who do watch it, more money. Gas prices are going up, wage is down, people losing benefits by the 100k's, foreclosures declining from an ALL TIME HIGH..whoopee. More people homeless, the eldely have to make a decision to eat or take medicine. I say we headed more towards a revolution than recovery. We need the quality jobs that left this country back. We are not going to survive with jobs paying 8-14 hr. with no benefits. That's what all the anti union folks think will bring this country out of recession. The Greedy are still gonna be greedy.

---- The recession will end only when Michigan becomes a right-to-work state. Until then expect more jobs to leave, or simply not bother to come here, as our state protected unions make it impossible for Michigan's businesses to compete or make a profit. ----

........

As I've made clear, I am no fan of unions, but I think it's hopelessly naive to imagine that Michigan's recession will ever end if Michiganders rely on old-fashioned manufacturing industries and the jobs they generate---unions or no unions.

Those days are gone, never to return.

"The recession will end only when Michigan becomes a right-to-work state." D.
