The recovery, according to leading economists for Bloomberg and Forbes in 2009 and early 2010, occurred in June 2009 and has been a slow-but-steady unfolding process ever since. Granted, the growth has been slight at times, but private-sector jobs growth has been happening each month despite all of the Republicans' ongoing efforts to BLOCK the economic recovery in order to stick it to President Obama in time for an election cycle. In Missouri (my home state), unemployment is at 8.5% and with the new $21.7 BILLION contract President Obama was able to secure for Boeing this month, my guess is that new hiring will begin at Boeing facilities all across the country, thereby lowering Missouri's unemployment rate even more in the weeks and months ahead.
The President's stimulus was divided into two years and distributed in ways that did create lots of jobs in an otherwise stagnant economy (see recovery.gov for the specifics), and we now have at least 40 states with new or rebuilt factories busy manufacturing American-made alternative energy products---all part of the Obama/Biden green-energy technologies initiative that was mentioned all during the 2008 campaign as a way of making America the WORLD LEADER in U.S.-made renewable energy exports. The President's wise bypass of Congress to take his case directly to the people or in some cases to corporate leaders willing to do their FAIR SHARE for the American people (hiring veterans, for example) is beginning to get some traction, and the GOP has finally SLOWLY begun to weaken their foolish economic sabotage by passing the President's stimulating extension of payroll tax cuts that can bring as much as $1400 a year for working Americans in spending money---spending that GROWS the economy and STRENGTHENS the recovery! Yes, we are rebounding and gaining some much-needed momentum.
Now let's all LOBBY LOBBY LOBBY Congress to pass the American JOBS Act and to TAX THE WEALTHIEST 1.5% so that we can lower our debt and deficit, too.
It wasn't Obama it was the Fed and the Central Banks around the World. This inflation is going to hit the poor the hardest. You know that the companies don't wanna pay you much so the working poor are going to get clobbered when this massive inflation hits.
Honestly I don't see any other way for them to pay off all that debt. Regardless of the fact the middle class is always hit harder than everyone else. I am glad the economy is up and I hope it stays up.
I just worry about hyperinflation. If we manage to walk away from this without millions of homeless and hungry people starving in the streets it will be a victory in and of itself. I admit that I started investing in the stock market again because the dollar will soon be worth nothing.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
