interesting thoughts and I am enjoying having a civil discussion. It seems when people say "economy" they really mean unemployment. As someone currently employed, things arent so bad on a day to day basis. Stock Market is cranking, prices arent too bad. On the negative side, Health care costs are really becoming a headache, my familys are up about 40% this year! Im worried about the deficit and future higher taxes. I really dont want to pay a higher tax rate. We make a lot of sacrifices to have the careers we do, I dont mind paying my fair percentage, but not a higher percentage of those who dont sacrifice as much.
Or...is this just a cycle? We had big up periods for most of my working life but I remember the 70s, lay offs, strikes, gas lines. We rebounded. Do we need the government to do anything? Will things just recover by themselves?
