One in six families is on food stamps. Tent cities for the homeless exist in most major metropolitan areas. Unemployment benefits are expiring for the first of the unlucky. Foreclosures are still at a record pace, bankruptcies as well.

No one in charge knows what they are doing, the regulators don't regulate. The entire economy is being outsourced to China. We couldn't have done a worse job of managing the economy if had tried, America was worried about external terrorist destroying our country, when it turned out the financial institutions and our government were the real terrorist. They destroyed 70 years of progress since the last depression in a matter of a decade or two. Amazingly efficient these capitalist and their cronies.
