"Well, our collective debt is starting to catch up with us. There is a sea of red ink on every level of American society. It is only a matter of time before it destroys our economy.

If you think that things are bad now, just wait. Things are going to get a whole lot worse. A horrific economic collapse is coming, and it is going to be very, very painful."

It's not a recovery per se if it hasn't hit bottom. Armageddon!

The reason jobs haven't recovered is this. Most of the jobs "created" during the boom years were pure fluff, and serve no purpose. This is the real state of things, the new status quo. We haven't really hit bottom yet until the underemployment/unemployment rate peaks. The GDP might be rising, but that's just losing the dead weight.

This country needs to create productive WORK—jobs will follow! Shallow, body-filling, job creation is causing Gov’t deficits & illusionary prosperity.
