Yeah, I wouldn’t want him as governmor, but I’d like him as a senator. We need Walker in as governor and I think he’ll do it as Barrett doesn’t even want to be running in the first place.
Mort Kondracke made a comment the other day, that the economy would have to grow 250,000 jobs a month for five years just to get back to where we were in late 2007, and we are nowhere near to growing that many jobs, nor is there any indication that there will be any time soon, either.
I find it very interesting that these numbers started to diverge in December 2008...go figure!
This will be a depression for many people, not from high unemployment magnitude, but from long duration of unemployment. The unemployed won’t be finding jobs, will burn through savings and then through saleable assets, and will then need help from family and friends to bridge whatever the government doesn’t provide.
Duration of unemployment will mark this depression.
