I agree. The Obama recovery is well under way. The only question is when inflation will appear. I say within 16 months.

That is a good question. This is a great time to buy a house. The prices are low, the interest rates are low, and the inflation will reduce the mortgage in the future.

Yes, the economy could rebound much sooner, but as long as our Affirmative Action President holds office, it won't. Instead, it will just get worse and worse. You would think that the liberal freaks might actually learn something after the way the economy tanked under Carter and the Democrat controlled Congress. Obviously they haven't.

Unemployment is always the LAST thing to recover. When that happens you KNOW things are humming right along.

Problem is KevK..we are still losing jobs. We need to see some jobs come back. Many are gone forever to the likes of China/India/Brazil..good paying white collar engineering jobs.
