It's getting worse, much worse.

Super computers are controlling too many financial powers including Wall Street and too many corrupt government officials keep getting fatter.

I mean, hell, it was on 60 minutes last night!

If the people want real answers they must write to their Congressmen and Representatives to start impeachment proceedings now the current President and his staff have done everything so far for reasons the public will never know unless they all are questioned under oath when they can't commit perjury. Answers to questions like why was all of the money funneled to the companies that got it and ties to this administration, all of their contacts in higher education and what they planned for this country and why, why this administration let so many of our troops in combat zones be killed and wounded because of no reinforcements how they planned for that to happen and what they hoped for as a result of those horrible decisions. They have to be questioned under oath or they all will walk as many of them are doing already.

It just depends on what you lived through. The Regan years were good as long as you weren't in a union or a blue collar worker. I was unemployed/underemployed for 3 years at that time. I did well during the Clinton years and just okay during George Sr.'s term. I also sat through the gas rationing. Don't be fooled into thinking the economy tanked in Obama's two years in office, it started way before that. And no, I don't care for Obama and didn't vote for him. You can't fix or destroy an economy overnight. Obama didn't let our jobs move to China, India, Indoesia, Mexico etc. I still respect the office of the president for what it is and vote every election local, state and federal. We need to clean house.

I was a Blue Collar worker doing the 80's IBEW Local 24 and had some smoking good years back then as said, Electrical work on towers and various other rigging type jobs. That was before going to work for the University working on government contracts. This economy is 13 years of Congress run amuck with the last two being the worst of all along with our present executive branch.
obama, harry reid, nancy polosi, stenny hoyer have succeeded in not listening to public wishes and have made thing worst with no answer in site. With headlines like this how could they say thing are looking up.

US unexpectedly sheds 95,000 jobs in September

How can it be said unexpectedly? What have they done to change anything? One and half + years wasted on a Heath Care bill that the majority of the public did not want is destined to raise cost across the board to all. That was great work on the economy there!!!! Stimulus money that went where?
It's funny they released over the week end that 71,688 people received money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and it turns out they were dead and another sad fact is that 17,348 others that received it were prison inmate. Only government agencies.

you are clearly delusional.

Seriously, LOL Impeachment?? How about filing criminal charges against Bush? He got us into Iraq chasing after weapons of mass destruction that never existed and attacked a country that never attacked us in the first place. A war that cost us billions of dollars and thousands of lives. Gimme a break. Talk about horrible decisions. Every president has made horrible decisions.

Then gleefully line their own pockets awarding contracs for the rebuilding and reconstruction to their own companies or subsiduaries of them by all accounts, wouldn't be as quick to send in the troops if they had to spend their own money, "taxpayers money" that'll do nicely, I'll use their money to trash some country then pay myself to rebuild, Mmm need a plan...eureka..... WMD's, stinks to high heaven

Some folks have really short memories with some things.

Others simply have loss off or selective
Economies the world over are going pear shaped, UK recently hired top buisiness man to look at the books, his conclusion was that in every department of government from the basic ordering of stationary to every other form of spending would have bankrupted any other company, why the politicians couldn't see this themselves stumps me, wonder how much the top buisiness man got paid to look at the books, the money he said that could be saved would not involve any job losses, talking £billions here, and I thought the job of government was to look after our interests

This is a interesting point... Im a small business man, and If I treated my customers the same as our government... Id be out of business in a flash...

When ever the subject of the current administration is mentioned some folks always point the finger at past administrations. That ship left the dock long ago, so, because nothing was done back then this administration should be allowed to get away with their mistakes and horrible decisions? If nothing is done now then it never will be and of course we the tax-payers/voters suffer the consequences of letting politicians do whatever they want, spend how much they want and retire with full pensions and benefits. I may appear to be delusional by calling for some sort of action now but if it makes every one feel better to be delusional to some degree pretending things are alright when clearly they are not then you win and will get your just reward, unfortunately you are dragging all of us with you into a bigger mess than any one could imagine.

Nobody ever said it's alright. It's downright horrible. First of all the state of the economy is global. Last time I looked, Obama wasn't the emperor of the world. This is much bigger than Obama. I guess nobody ever bothered to take a look at film called "The Money Masters" It's not just the dumbasses that run our government, it's the greedy dumbasses that run the financial institutions of the world that caused the mess. The spillover from the past administration is a factor in what's going on now. Iraq didn't flatten the World Trade Center, Bin Laden and his psycho cronies did. Why did we invade Iraq? ripitup555 hit the nail right or the head. Obama didn't get us in a confrontation with Iraq.
