It probably doesn’t help having unemployment insurance lasting two or so years making it easier to survive unemployment.

Perhaps people are starting to see what is in front of their nose. Too bad it's a swinging baseball bat.

I think Barry Dunham is looking to out-do FDR.
I just got done with Amity Schlaes’ book. The Forgotten Man.
After reading that I considered FDR a destroyer. If it was not for the Second World War, the Great Depression would have gone into the 1970’s and maybe beyond.

Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Obama loses his.Beautiful!

This story like all the rest does not connect the dots to Obama. Not one word about Obama’s job killing policy on private business. These stories are pathetic.

Take away their welfare bennies and let them build bunk houses for other welfare cases to live in.

Perhaps they are starting to see that, short of Satan’s intervention, O is not going to be reelected, so are preparing a spot under the bus in time to annoint a new contender.
