Gee, is that why I can't pay my bills and prices are rising? No recession? Please look it up in the dictionary.

OK, let's give my words a more familair ring:
"The only thing we have to fear... is fear itself";
FDR

Americans who knew and understood what that President meant, overcame all their adversities.
What possible qualities did those Americans have we don't?
What is needed is courage to face the adversity we all face and the fortitude to see it through.

Bellyaching (as in above) is what we do not need.
Whining is for losers...and wimps and yes, ladies can be and are also wimps...and whiners.

My Dads' dry cleaning and hat shop had signs over the counter: "No credit", "Items left over 30 days will be sold and:
"If you want your prayers answered... get up off your knees and hustle."

I see, so figuratively speaking, the whole Third World reaches full employment before those 63,000 lost jobs return?

Rising prices are called inflation, not recession.

You can't pay your bills because you keep sending all your money to Barack Obama. Maybe all that time you spend on the internet could be put to better use training yourself for a better job.

No...most likely THOSE jobs will never return....they will be absorbed elsewhere...that's where the govt. comes in....providing the opporutinity to get training to find a more productive job.
