That means that what we have now is the Democrat’s idea of a healthy economy.

I think he just misunderstood the question. He thought someone had asked him about his career.

So, if the recession is over, could someone explain that to the 16.8% of Americans out of a job.

And it means, the TARP, TARP II and TARP III, and the ‘stimulus’ was just the biggest heist ever pulled in the history of the world, eh?

How much of that was from My Cash for Your Clunkers cannibalizing future months' sales.

What is so scary is that these are the guys in charge at the top in reference to informing on our financial future and we are squarely being lied too!

Exactly. The Dow is gaining on sucker money. Corporate books are being cooked. Chilly winds will be blowing this winter.

"Show us the jobs"

Where have you been? There are plenty of jobs and great business opportunities if you are interested in setting up a brothel with illegal alien children [Go to your local ACORN office for more details].

Bernanke now sees the end of the recession that he never saw coming. GREAT!

Pack him in the VW Bug with Abbey Joseph Cohen and the rest of the economist. I wish one of these people would see one coming and warn us. Stocks went from 14,000 to 6,600 and he did not see it coming. Now stocks go from 6,600 to 9,600 and he sees a bottom

Reminds me of an old saying in my business ... "Don't tell me what to buy, tell me when to buy!"

This economy is not fixed until you show us the jobs.

I don't mean to single you out on this, there are numerous similar posts on this, and every other thread on this topic. When we say things like this, we sound just like the MSM did back in 2002 and 2003 in regards to that recovery.

It should be common knowledge among those undertaking intelligent conversation on the economy that job growth is a trailing indicator. We will be well into the recovery before anyone gets "shown the jobs." Deal with it. That's the way our economy works.

I take issue with the premise that the recovery is underway. I hope I'm wrong about that, but if we really are starting to recover out of the recession, then no way in hell was it as bad as it was made out to be. It may be the first real recession we've had since the early 80s, but it's not as bad as that one and isn't even in the same ballpark with the 30s.
