and something I just heard on the Swedish Radio News: The Red Cross is collecting funds to provide food for the hungry this winter in ......wait for it......EUROPE. And, no, they were not only talking about the former East Bloc countries but Spain, Portugal and possibly a lot of other places.
(Insert proper Bette Davies quote here.)
PS: Quote from the news program:
Q: Is this a new phenomenon that you have to hand out food in Europe?
A: In our part of Europe it is definitely a new development. My Spanish colleagues plan to hand out food to hundred thousands of people. My Italian colleague is planing to do it. In Hungary they have already started. In our part of Europe this is a totally new development.

Since the start of this recession the economy has lost 7.2 million jobs and the trend is continuing however at a slower pace. During the best times for the economy during nineties it was generating at best 2.15 million jobs a year.
On top of it there is almost 100000 new people entering the job market monthly due to immigration and population growth.
It’s going to take an enormous growth in the US economy to create millions of new jobs and bring the unemployment rate back to 5%.
This government is much more concerned about implementing their grandiose plans by borrowing enormous amounts of money.
The replies to AEP's screeds are always worth the read. His following is a knowledgeable lot. But you usually have to go back to them after a day or so.
