In your opinion, Is the recession REALLY over??? I mean . . . . . really?!?

Who is saying that it is over? I see signs of the recession everyday still.

and even bill clinton don't believe it.

Bill ended up having to apologize for saying this .......
But listening to him here...I think he meant what he originally said

people can say what they want about willy. but he's a politician 24/7. men like this don't make slips in interviews. he backtracked because of pressure from Washington. but he ment it when he said it.

Of course not. Does this look better to anyone? Of course not..because it isnt! We're still falling down the hole!

No, We have been sliding down the muddy slope on the way to the hole, I guess around the middle of Sept 2012 that we will actually begin the fall, but I could be a little off.

I think we fell as soon as our credit rating dropped. Right after Greece's.

Bad time but that was about the point we went down on all fours.

Most big money dosen't like o-bamboozler, they don't trust him, so as long as he's POTUS things will stay stalled.

no

Its just been dragging on and on.

its very evident...things are not exactly the way we are being told......
Looking at the home market...nobody is buying.....banks are still extremely tight on restrictions.
The stock market has very low volume from individual investors.
Jobs are still very hard to come by, companies still are downsizing.

No, it is worse. Unemployment is higher and inflation is out of control. Prices of food, gasoline and everything else are going sky high. The dollar will soon be worthless, if it is not stopped. Things were a lot better under Bush. People should quit listening to PRAVDA (abc, nbc, cbs, cnn, msnbc and pbs.

The actual problem began under the Clinton Admin, and was continued into the Bush and Obama Admins. The rapidly expanding economy of the Bush era was a symptom of what we are experiencing now, and just changing the man directing the train wreck will not suffice... Yes Mitt, may have experience in micro economics and scales of economies but He is actually enlisting the same goons that put the curly in Mr. Clintons shorts and inspired the Bush and Obama Admins to do the same... We needed a real change but were instead only given an option of a new puppet show.

It is not over for most of us in Florida. Nor is it over for the vast majority of my fellow Interior Designers across the USA.

If a republican was sitting in the white house, this story would be all over the news 24-7. But because a demonrat is in office...things are looking up and we are looking to a "summer of recovery" 3.0.

This recession is far from over. In fact it will only get worse. If obumbo gets reelected, it may never end until we become a banana republic, sans the bananas. Even if the morons that voted for the cretin wise up and go for Romney, it will take a good two to four years to witness any significant recovery. Keep in mind Carter got us into the same mess we are in today. It took Reagan four years to fully right the ship. Bush, the elder, kept the ship steady. Then Clinton did his best to get us back into another recession. This time Gingrich with his contract with America prevented the boy toy from his reckless and corrupt spending binge. The Gingrich plan worked so well that Clinton was given credit for keeping the economy steady. When we finally rid ourselves of Slick Willy, the economy picked again and remained good until we let the Marxists back into the House and Senate in 2006. It was all downhill from that point due the criminal actions of Barney Fife and his fellow travelers, Dodd, Shumer, Polousy, and Reid.. obumbo merely has put the icing on the cake in his quest to ruin this country.

But as long as Obama thinks that " the private sector is doing just fine" then I'm sure his followers will believe it's true. Perhaps there's not enough tent cities, home forclosures or failing businesses to satisfy him yet.

...and it is almost a depression. I'm afraid we have a long road ahead.

It is easy to blame someone! But a huge part of the blame falls upon the uninformed
ignorant American voter, voting for social programs rather than voting for what is best for the nation. It would help if more voted for the nation, rather than for their social program!

depends if Obama wins in November or not. If he wins yes if he loses were spiraling towards depression.

explain.

Obama won't make anything worse while Romney will let us go off the deep end. Were at the half way point between a double dip recession and full recovery Obama will keep us at this point while Romney would kill us with austerity.

care to go into detail?

Austerity is what caused England to double dip into recession, if we do the same we can expect the same results. What Romney advocates is austerity which would allow businesses to suck the blood out of the middle class like a parasite. Obama's current policy is weak but as we can see keep us in a stasis and not getting any worse until 2016 when we can elect a stronger more liberal Democrat that will allow the Keynesian model to work.

but the british use a socialist model.

no they don't actually they only have slightly more social programs than we do otherwise they would be prospering like they are in Finland or Canada. It was Austerity that caused the double dip in england.

....

what's the confusion?

Im not confused. socialism is socialism, no matter what kind of make up you put on it.

You have no understanding of what you talk about, Capitalism and Socialism are extremes at different ends of the spectrum what I advocate is a compromise in the center of the spectrum. That isn't socialism.

yes, what you described was socialism, no matter the names you call me.

well how do you define socialism.

so·cial·ism   [soh-shuh-liz-uhm] Show IPA
noun
1.
a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
2.
procedure or practice in accordance with this theory.
3.
(in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.

well, how does your definition comply with my mixed economy if the free market still exists in my system?

your system has socialism in it. it kills jobs. example europe and russia. the market isnt free when it is being regulated and heavily taxed!

why isn't it people can still choose what to buy and sell in whatever quantities they want. They just need to comply with certain terms and conditions. Don't you still have free speech if you agree to the terms and conditions of your favorite social network? Of course you do so why would terms and conditions in economics be any different?

because that allows people who dont money to recieve money. its not fair to those who work. two different things. there isnt an amendment that is freedom of money

well then we need to update the constitution then don't we?

no, we dont. the constitution was a guideline of freedoms. its fine the way it is.
