There really is no recovery right now. Barry and his demented plan for America (which he continues to veil from us) will not work at all and it's never been in America's best interest. Your statement says it all. Meanwhile, those 88 million unemployed are still unemployed.
The biggest problem this country has is stupid party lines and zero term limits. Left or right it really doesn't matter, the career political crooks have all of us just where they want us. As long as they can continue to keep us fighting amongst ourselves about invisible party lines they will be the happiest crooks in the free world.
The vast majority of politicians could care less about any of us or the implosion of this country. They and their future generations will continue to get richer while the rest of us get poorer while arguing about which dysfunctional BS party is the most viable.
At the end of the day all the majority of politicians care about is that there are no term limits, no viable party 3rd ever being instituted and growing as old and worthless in office as Strom Thurmond and laughing all the way to the bank at the stupid, party line bickering taxpayers' expense.
I'm sorry folks to burst your bubble. If Romney gets in we still will be at 8 % unemployment in 4 years. We live in a global world and the great recession in 2008 got rid of all the dead meat and inefficiency in the workforce. Those manufacturing jobs going to China and technology jobs to India will not come back until our wages are even with those country. That means that we have to decrease our living standard and they have to up their living standards. Once that happens jobs will come back to America. But I don't think their will be a United States of America once we reach this point.
But, with regards to the "recovery", Romney won't be any better.
Right-
Here is a list of things that will immediately be better
1. repealing Obamacare, thus eliminating the financial burden on business and the largest tax increase in US history.
2. Keeping the Obama income tax cuts (the ones they used to call "Bush tax cuts") in place in 2013
3. Allowing Keystone pipeline
4. Allowing expansion of domestic oil, coal, and gas
5. eliminating the Obama EPA assault of coal fired electricity
6. enforcing illegal immigration, thus reducing the continued downward pressure on wages
7. allow a national right to work act
8. a corporate consumption tax to reward net exporters
These are just the immediate measures. Obama is anti-business and will continue to depress the US economy if he remains in office. The unemployed and those employed with lower paychecks will express thier views in the polling places in November.
It does not look good for Bo.
