If the job creation doesn't start up soon there is going to be no one that can afford to buy anything. I know I'm putting off a couple of purchases until I'm more sure of my income flow. I don't want to improve the house and then have to sell it because I lost my income when those improvement costs would probably buy me a few more months in the house while I look for a job. I keep remembering in the 80s that we had a recovery of a recession but it was a "jobless" recovery. I hope we aren't going to experience that again.

Wait until the Cap and Trade Bill effects take over. We will lose the rest of our manufacturing jobs in this country. They will be moving to other countries where the rules and regulations aren't as strict.

I'm sure glad global warming is happening, because I'm freezing in my area of the country. I can't wait until the Government tells me how high I can turn my thermostat to. I will feel so much better when they have more control over my life and tell me which kind of car to buy. It just gives me that warm fuzzy feeling all over.

I just hope the rest of the country feels as glad as I do about the Government's role in controlling us more and more each day. I feel better knowing the Government tells us what we can or can't do, but they don't have to follow the same rules. It's always soothing to hear people say, "The Governments doing the best job they can do".

It's unfortunate that corporations enjoying Bush-era tax breaks are shipping jobs overseas instead of employing Americans at home. Does anyone care how many jobs that would have created here?

I think employers thought that June 2009 would start the rebound so they fired people ahead of that to handle it and when it didn't arrive they had to reduce the numbers back down...to live within their means so they can continue to survive for the long haul. Someone should explain that to my boss.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The economy is currently like a cork bouncing in water. Its going to go up and down for a while before it settles. But its not in a full fledged desperate plunge like it was when Bush took office and Obama took over.
