I understand that everyone wants the recovery to happen overnight, but it doesn't work that way. When the economy goes into recession the hardest hit is always manufacturing jobs, you know!!! the stuff people spend money on when times are good. It took 5 years to recover from Jimmy Carter's recession and the unemployment rate was in the double digits and well into Reagan's 3rd year in office it was still over 8%.

If a Democrat was in office the liberal media would be reporting about this amazingly short recession and how the President should be enormously credited for keeping the economy from free falling after all that has happened since the NASDAC bubble bursted in 1999, the recessions start in 2000, the attacks of 9/11 and the corperate scandals just after that.

I feel we are damn lucky things were not a hell of a lot worse than they were, You can focus on the negatives all you want, I choose to think differently.

I'd be willing to bet that, during WWII when the Germans started haluling people away to 'work' camps, there were people in the Warsaw Ghetto watching trainloads of their people hauled off and commenting that it wasn't all that bad: after all, look how many are still left.

I hope you are correct. The big difference is we weren't shipping entire professional, white collar departments and divisions to 3rd world countries during, before or after that recession.
