I did keep wondering how we could have a jobless recovery and how people could get so much money. Once the subprime blew up though...that's when the true story of the jobless recovery came to light.
You see..they can't do it again..we're all tapped out.

You summed up the whole problem in four words. If there is a double-dip, or even a real
hard depression, that's it. No more bailouts, stimulus, tax breaks, investment in innovation, investment for infrastructure, etc.
