Is the economy better?

ada09 · 10-13-2009, 09:34 PM

One year has passed. Is the economy better? How long will we walk out of the recession? Any opinion is appreciated.

SOme "experts" are saying that we are "officially" out of the recession based on technical data, but we I think another cliff is around the corner that we will fall off of, before a real recovery is seen, and more importantly FELT by most people.

A classic jobless recovery. Just hoping not a double dip in a few quarters.

When I start showing an increase in my sales numbers then the recession will be over for me.

No, its not getting any better. Citities, states, citizens, etc are getting into more debt. The economy is more global than it has ever been. Thus we might be forced to get used to high unemployment as many of the loss jobs won't come back.

It has to be better, our new President said it would "change".

If me read the article correctly,those wages were paid before they joined Obama's group of "advisors". Most certainly they took a pay cut as a government employee.

Well the people without job's would say no and with the dollar continuing to lose ground inflation can't be far behind.

That is true. They may have taken a pay cut but total compensation will greatly increase. You are astute enough that I'm sure I don't have to tell you how things work in the DC political class.

It has also gotten better for walls treet and many in the finance/banking industry...thx to the bail outs. Meanwhile, foreclosures are up for main street: worse three months ever

The housing market is very troubling. Thank goodness we have elected geniuses to fix the easy credit bubble with more easy credit.

So are you saying that mccain/palin would have done a better job?

Of course they would of. We would have tax cuts which is proven to create jobs. And they aren't socialists! Good enough for you?

Hey guys, just be glad we passed the Stimulus bill otherwise unemployment might have gone higher than 8%.
