7. a recession is when your neighbor loses his or her job...
a depression is why you lose your job.

old saying.

frankly, all of those pundits crowing about the recession being "over" are so completely out of touch with reality.

while the states show that we are out of, what is termed to be, a traditional recession, life on the ground, life in the trenches belies that fact.

we aren't in a "jobless recovery" were are in a jobless stagnation.

there is nothing "traditional" about what is going on in this nation right now. we have entered a new and scary land that is completely undefinable other then "end of empire".
