The worst economy in the last 50 years?

[GailA]

DUH compare 0 to Hoover's economy and see which is worse.

AND DON'T DRINK THE GOP'S KOOLAIDE EITHER. romney may be the lesser of 2 evils, but he is still an evil socialist.

Clinton’s fault.

this guy is just figuring this out?????

The Beltway guys and pols have no idea what's going on in flyover country. Where I'm at in a middle-income world the numerous shopping strips which dot the main highway for miles are becoming devoid of their ordinarily bustling shops. These entrepeneur-type stores are either closed or hanging on the brink.

In the mall, the kitchen shop, Merle Norman cosmetics, the two gift shops, eight more stores.....all gone. JCPenney devoid of customers and clerks, too. The clerks are complaining they're down to mandatory 4 hours a day work. No floor clerks at Kohl's to help you out, either. Try to find a floor clerk at KMart.

No service, no customers....or is it no customers, no service?

Almost all the private, family-owned-type restaurants are shuttered, only the impersonal chains remain. The small jewelry shops, the fruit shippers facility, our Outback closed, our Target closed.....need I go on?

Yes, we are in a Recession out here across the fruited plain.....but those governing from booming, government-sponsored DC evidently don't know it....or don't care to know it....or won't admit it.

It has been in force since 2008.

[Iron Munro]

I still don’t see real-time signs of recession in the USA.

Shut the computer off, walk up the cellar stairs, stick your head out the window and look around.

If only it were just a recession.
