Just wonder how the American economy can grow in the 4th quarter if 10% of people don't have a job.

The other 90% are on their own?     

A double dip recession, if not an outright collapse, is coming.  It's only, "When."

I just wonder how it could really grow.  Jobless claims are still rising, although stabilizing.  Underemployment is a hugh unaddressed issue.  With those combined 4th quarter numbers can not be high, I don't see how they could even break even.

The rate per month is falling slowly.  The total is over 15 million. It's still too high and there's other things that can drive up the rate in the future, e.g., foreclosures and lack of consumer spending.

I don't think the economy can grow in the long run.  I 'double dip' recession is the norm.  You're probably right about that.

From what I have been hearing 'big m', and its starting to make sense to me as it sinks in...the economy is really way in the black.

It seems they have been neglecting to report the tremendous amount earned from investments and government owned systems and structures...which apparently substantially dwarf the minute by comparison money collected in taxes.

In other words we are all needlessly paying taxes !!!

Obviously they did that to keep us "occupied", and oblivious to our plight, and from rising above it and really getting to truly enjoy fruitful lives in our intended pursuit of happiness.

Instead they have duped us into pursuit of a dollar.

Scammed again, it looks like...and when you stop to consider what I just said in light of what is going on in the world at large, it seems like an all too realistic possibility.

They are just squeezing us to weaken our resolve enough to make us prone accept our slow decent into a life of virtual slavery...with no freedom to move about the earth freely, and no refuge or sanctuary because they own all our real property though property tax.

Everything is fine we just need to pull the plug on this video game they have people playing like a gambling addict on a slot machine.
