State of the economy
According to the Labor Department, about %15 of the workforce,or
1 worker in 7 is either unemployed or stuck working part-time because
he or she can't get full-time work.
%23 of prime working-age men, about 14 Million age 25 to 64, lack a
full time job.
Meantime Bloomberg in NYC is building 10 new shelters because
there are now 46,000 homeless in the city compared to 35,000 in 2008.
What a sad state of affairs. Time to put in a Businessman to correct
the horrendous failures of a Community Organizer.
BTW-another battery company, A123 of Waltham, having received Obama's
green taxpayer money went bankrupt today. Shares are down to 6 cents.
Another example of the pie in the sky "Green Economy" gone south.

One of the better lines from Romney to Obama in the last debate regarding Green investments by the Obama administration "you don't pick winners and losers, you just pick losers".

Yes, perhaps Romney can restructure the USA for sale at a considerable profit 
You did see all the companies reporting favorable earnings today didn't you? The stock market is cranking...

That's because household debt has kept consumption down...this is starting to recover.
Yes, a lot of money has gone towards middle class tax breaks and assistance to the poor...without which things could be a hell of a lot worse.

yes indeed it is. However, most of the growth in the world has been outside of the US. |

and companies are holding profits as 'cash on hand' not expanding.
I see JPT's numbers are actually being close maybe a little low 1 in 6 rather than 7

How about--- So you gave away 50 years of oil company "tax breaks" to Green Energy your first year in office with nothing to show for it..
Hows that for a poke in the eye..
