Yes I don't think there even was a recovery. We just threw a bunch of money in a bottomless hole and expected the problem to go away. I hope they can figure this out and turn the economy around because I have no idea how to do it.
Also I did find a job and will be starting on Monday 
but, I will be working overtime Monday threw Friday. It isn't a huge problem but I really prefer to work normal hours, I get burnt out pretty fast otherwise. My point is a lot of the jobs that are available have a catch involved. I have heard of companies laying off or trying to fire their employees that have been there for years and years. Then replacing them with temps who get no benefits and get paid much less. Plus temps don't complain because they are usually desperate and don't feel like they can complain.
I am scarred at what this country will look like in 2020.

It is really scary how all this is playing out. You can see it happening and it's like waiting for a smack in the face with your eyes closed, not knowing when the person is going to do it. Not that I have ever been in that situation but I can imagine.
You know it is coming and are bracing yourself for it. Almost like you can feel it coming. The bonus for me is I am already considered lower class so it's not like I have a whole lot to loose. The problem for me is everything rolls downhill. So when it does come I am sure the lower class will take the brunt of it.
I don't want to imagine what that is going to be like considering how volatile our nation is already.

431,000 jobs added! But 411,000 of them temp government workers
Government takes over GM, government takes over banks, government hiring all the workers --- notice a trend here? Obama is already running around the country touting the slight dip in the unemployment rate (9.9% down to 9.7%) and all the mindless Obama followers dutifully cheer, apparently not realizing that they are the ones paying for the 'recovery'.
