Americans are getting impatient with this "recovery" that produces jobs only in the third world.

Maybe that's it: maybe Americans should be more patient?

Ah, you feel entitled to the good times we've had and now someonr has to be guilty for their end.

After the market crash in 1929, the stock market did not climb back up until 1952. How's that for patience?

Fat cats were making money after the '29 crash. The stock market (just as it is now) was going gangbuster in the mid 30's, but only an idiot would declare that the Depression was over at the time. People were out of work in huge numbers, but at least they didn't suffer the insult to their intelligence of people waiving phoney government unemployment stats at them in order to convince them that they weren't really hungry. 6.1% my @$$. Try 9 or 10. Not Great Depression levels, but getting there.
