“Trista, who used to make $30,000 a year working for a medical billing service, was laid off from her job in November of 2012, and hasn’t been able to find a job since.”

I feel for this woman, and everyone else like her. I still have memories of the recession of the early 1980s, when my dad was out of work for almost a year.

The difference this time is that there’s no Reagan Recovery waiting around the corner. My dad got back to work and was soon making a much better salary than he had before he’d lost his last job. Today, I’m not so sure he’d have found a job at all, much less a better one. We are staring at what I fear may well be a “lost decade”, with the idiotic policies of this administration making things worse.

The “new normal” really, really sucks, folks.
