Your nation has been going down since you elected bush. Sure haven't seen obama do anything particularly great, but at least he's trying to clean up bushes mess...
Please explain how he's doing that.
We are still at war, but now it's on THREE fronts, and spending hundreds of billions of dollars for nothing.
Bush made a mess by overspending, but Obama is just throwing gasoline on the fire.
actaully we have lost over 35 million jobs since 1994
How did you figure that out? Could you also provide the number going back to 1980 or 1975? Or did you gather that cherry picked information at a right wing website/radio/TV?
Still doesn't excuse his ideas of Americans working for dirt, which is EXACTLY what he wants to see. He has SAID as much. He has said that we need to give up our lifestyles because someone has to come down (Americans) in order for someone else to come up (Foreign nations). If you don't know what your man is about, then you are hopeless and shouldn't even be participating in any of this.

We’ve Got Depression-Level Unemployment
Unemployment is currently underreported. Even government officials admit that their “adjustments” to unemployment figures are inaccurate during recessions.
Youngstown State University’s Center for Working Class Studies puts the “De Facto Unemployment Rate” at 28.76%.
People are job jumping a lot like human toads from what I've seen in real life: instead of lily pads it's one sinking ship to another.

I really have no idea if or when the situation will improve.....
Back in 2009 when we were still in Colorado, I was sent to the home of a very elderly gentleman to repair his toilet. (I'm a plumber by trade) Anyway, he and I got to talking and I asked what he thought of the current situation.
He said the Great Depression was worse, but this is the worst economic situation since then.... I'm inclined to agree.

I had it estimated between 20%-24%
All the 99'er off the checklist.
All the self employed, they label subcontractor(there is a lot of these in the construction trades)
all the kids just graduating high school and college, coming into the workforce.
