I am not a birther, or a denier, I just can't believe people can't see how much smarter she is then the average woman ... and way smarter then Oblama. This has been a complete disaster for me and all americans and just keeps getting worse. I had no idea when I voted for the big 'B' how much of a whole he was gonna digg us into.
Oh boo-hoo. Try 25% unemployment, lay-offs in all public sectors (police, firefighters, social workers), bans on local milk production by the European Union and VAT jumping from 18% to 21% and about to go to 23%, not to mention income taxes going up. This place is called Latvia, and you Americans have no idea what a recession is. I'd do anything for a US visa right now. Who wants to sponsor me one?
Actually, a recession has nothing to do with unemployment of government deficits. The technical definition of recession being over is two consecutive quarters of GDP growth. This is the exact opposite of the technical definition of a recession (2 consecutive quarters of GDP decline).Technically, unemployment could be at 100% and a country could still come out of a recession as long as its GDP grew. I know it doesn't sound right but there isn't any technical term when a country has high unemployment.
laborcszanto,You need your meds adjusted.The only thing strong about Palin is her ego and that's way too easily bruised to actually be a politician. She couldn't even finish her term as Governor, there's no way in hell anyone sane is going to vote for her for president and you and your entirely crazy friends only make up about 7% of the population (Thank God!).
To the ones unemployed the two options are very clear. Either get employment or lose your house. You should be glad your life was so easy that it never occurred to you how hard life can be for others.
