Historically employment has been a leading indicator, spending is a lagging. That is what makes this 'recovery' so hard for Americans to accept. Its hard to tell a man the recession is on its way out when he cant find a job

We have more than enough jobs to replace these people, but they need to move and they aren't at $30-60 an hour with full benefits and retirement plans that are crazy. But young dumb and full of cum Americans blew it on bullshit and now have nothing.

The reason for the costs of pay and benefits for employees being 'crazy' is because of the corporations. Someone mentioned health care before and it strangles entrepreneurs. There is a roll for the government. Some people act that the government should not exist, I mean they do not come right out and say that but you can tell thats exactly what they are thinking. The government exist for the benefit of the people who elected them, I think that the government working with companies and examining things like tarriffs could go a long way towards re-establishing American economic power. But thats a lot of work and companies would have to tighten their belts and accept lower profit margins. But that shit aint never gonna happen!

Great point, as long as some politicians scream about socialism, vote no on every spending bill as welfare but then pump hands and pose for pictures when they can spend that money, then it will never happen. a high speed rail system in the US is my wet dream the same goes for clean energy. Not because I wear hemp sandals but because in the long term it will have a dramatic effect on foriegn policy and create cheaper energy
