What It Is, If It's No Longer a 'Recession'

Back when Bush was President, he screamed about everything being Clinton's fault, for the first TWO years in office! I said, "When is BUSH gonna start being President"!
NOW, I'll say the SAME thing about Obama! If he wants the $400,000 PAYCHECK, he needs to STEP UP TO THE PLATE! Because BUSH, has been gone for TWO YEARS now! OBAMA is President! OBAMA is cashing the $400,000 a year check and it's time for OBAMA, to start being held ACCOUNTABLE!
Oh, how I LONG, for a President to say once again...."The Buck Stops HERE"!

Ask yourself this question. What would happen if psychology, economics, and world religions were taught in high school? Would the kids have a better understanding of how others think and ( re)act? What if we make it more of a requirement to take 2 years of American history to have a better understanding of how to build and maintain a country and not to make the mistakes of the past? With micro and macro economics the students would understand how not to allow those who take and waste our money to continue. I wonder who is controlling the education of our youth and are you just playing cards during those school committee meeting.

Remember in college when you wanted more cash to help you out when you wanted to play more. Go back to the depression, who did the President go to to bail out the country? Who do the Democrats go to fund all their social programs? They go to daddy. Who do the poor and middle class cry to because they don't have enough fun? The cry to daddy. Who creates all the jobs in America that the poor and middle class are not educationally ready to have? Daddy creates all those jobs. Who constitutes 70% of all small businesses in this country, works 12-15 hours a day, works for 20 years to build the jobs and pays most of the taxes? Daddy that's who. Who spends their time asking daddy to share their wealth with the poor and middle class who spend their time playing in school while daddy is studying to be on top? The poor and middle class that's who. You wonder who really is the problem with the decline in America, all those politicians and others who want to stop the upward thinking and move everyone down on the level of the do nothing, playing folks who spend most of their time at playing, concerts, drinking, parties, listening to music, and just not accomplishing ANYTHING to build up America. So Democrats stop asking daddy to help you continue your play time. You don't want to help build America. You just want to stop all those who are building America. You want to make life so taxing ( get it) that people will not want to get into small businesses and hire neighbors who will have more pride in themselves and become models for their children. You want to slow down progress that all the rest of the world looks to for inspiration. Where else in the world do people die in the oceans to get to. Daddy should not give you anything but a chance to educate yourself and to be a more productive member of America. Leave Daddy alone and allow him to continue to build America. With less taxes he can build up his business and hire more people who will pay taxes and contribute to the local economy. These people will give back to America except taking from America in the form of handouts that are paid for by you know who---Daddy. If it was up to the Democrats, Bill Gates and Microsoft would not have happened. I wonder what would have happened to the largest company in the world that has created more large and in charge DADDIES than anyone else in the world. What have they done with their millions to help out their communities? What happens when Daddy dies? so does the family structure unless it is left strong to stand on its own two feet from sea to shinning sea. By the way, I'm Black and grew up in the ghetto in the northeast. Have two masters degrees paid for by myself. Married to another black women from college who worked her way through and two college graduate children who wanted to be just like their mom and DADDY. Grow up America and watch who you vote for and what they stand for. If you don't like America, get out and leave the rest of us alone.

In answer to 'Lee Hansen'--
The Unions are to blame.
Gm workers got $ 76.00 an hour,as compared with $38.00 with Toyota
workers in the USA.Big bonuses and pensions.That's the reason why
people don't buy 'American'.Don't blame Americans that buy foreign
products that are better and cheaper.
Our lifestyle has gotten to expensive compared to the rest of the world's.
There is a reason for every thing,just think realistically.

In only 18 months Obama has set more new bad records then all of the Previous 43 Presidents of America, He will continue to set more bad Records . If I stick my finger in a light socket I do not blame the Electric Company. Bush didn't set these Records---Obama did.
Record Deficit--3.4 trillion Dollars.--More then all of the previous presidents combined.
Record Poverty
Record trade deficit.
Record unemployment.
Record longest period of the unemployed.
Record home Foreclosures.
Record failing stimulus packages.
Record Government expansion.
Record gap between the rich and the poor.
Record divisions in the House and Senate.
Record insurance premium payments.
Record extensions of unemployment benefits payed out.
Record business failures.
The worst record is for pulling the wool over so many Democrats eyes.
All of these records and more are on the internet check them for your selves.
This Democrat will not be voting Democrat on November 2 or in 2012......

The "Recession" is no longer that because that implies that the economy will rebound to prosperity. With the huge imbalance in trade with so many countries like China and Japan we are now a non manufacturing country and the profits of our labors go the few power brokers that control the movement of products and workers in this country. We are in the services industry. The least paying and fastest layoff companies are the service industry. How do we, the working class of people get out of this fix? Don't buy the foreign cars, that make the Japanese rich, the Germans, The Koreans etc. Buy domestic cars that are made here. Don't shop at Wal Mart. The Walton's are already some of the richest people in the world and their employees are on welfare and get no medical or pensions and we pay for there benefits. China, and the Walton's get richer! The U. S. companies that deal only in foreign product sales have a foreign labor force that earns less than $4.00/hour! Their country is a dictatorship and they will not change the trade policies with the U. S. and will continue to undercut their currency to keep their imports to us cheap so they can continue to decimate our labor force and manufacturing base. Only buying "Made in the U.S. A. will turn our economy around by bringing back manufacturing jobs to the U. S. Ask the political candidates these questions. What will you do to solve the trade imbalance with China and the oil producing countries. What policies will you use to bring back manufacturing companies and jobs to this country? Who is you financial guru that will advise you on reducing the National debt? Those questions should keep the politicians busy finding answers.

Not happy with the way globalization changed the world? No problem. Just go play ball in the mud field next to the tent city where you now live.

Thought you might like to see a couple of my definitions for this mess.
Greacession: “Great Recession”
Recinitions: Fabricated words defining the “Greacession”
