Things are not even close to bottoming out. Around here buses for school kids are not doing certain routes. That means little kids are being forced to walk on streets with no sidewalks. With all the missing children no way in hell would my children! Firemen have been perminately laid off(yet no fat ass cops). Trash removal is be halted. Rate hikes on water and sewage to make up for lost revenue. Chysler and Delphi aren't paying property tax so the city is hit hard there and stopped ambulance service. Unemployment compensation has been extended and ran ou for a large majority of recipients. All the subdivisions that were building have zero activity. Snow removal and putting salt down on roads are said for this winter to be reserved for all but the worst of days. On & on it goes. We still produce NOTHING and it gets less for any type of factory production because a new one closes weekly. On a braoder scale daily. I really can't relate at all to where Mrs Wetback is coming from with this(the second post about an improving economy). Any light at the end of the tunnel would first have to be imported from China before it could be seen.
 
I hear you loke!

Same here about the bus service, my son won't have it but daughter will. It depends on how far away the school is. They are also NOT allowed to walk to school either, must be parent escort. This is easy though with all the unemployed parents.

Laying off cops/firemen here as well. The awesome part though is that we might get either a high speed train instead or trolly cars. Thanks stimulus!
 
I'm telling you, for the general population the recovery is going to be a lot worse that the recession itself. As soon as unemployment stabilizes and decreases, and people start spending a little money, shit is going to get crazy. At the first sign of increased demand for gas, prices will skyrocket. State and Federal taxes will soar (we're going to have to pay for all these government run programs), you'll see double digit interest rates (good if you have some money; bad if you need to borrow), the dollar will tank and inflation will run wild.
