....Oh yes, all the more reason to stay in Iraq and Afghanistan, spending billions of dollars over the next thousand years; seeing our children and grandchildren get sent over there to be maimed and killed. But there is choice....we can stop meddling in the affairs of other nations and work for our own prosperity.

Does that mean is ok to go out and spend like ****. Thats what they want you to think. It will take years if ever for the US to come back to where we were. Hows your job, I'am making 1/3 of what I was in 2000.

The technical definition of 'recession' seems to be drawn to keep politicians from having to admit we are in one. I don't doubt we are out of the recession technically, but the economy is still really bad by any practical measure. It's the pidgeons coming home to roost after 30 years of bad policy. I don't see it getting much better in the most practical way- employment- for a very long time, if ever.
Anyone who thinks the recession is over obviously needs a dose of Marc Faber.

Interesting for a European socialist to read the reactions of Americans on Ben Bernanke's 'we are most likely out of the recession'-speech. It's like ours. If the policies of the US government is what the ordinary Americans want their country to be engaged in; then I don't like Americans. Except for Forrest Gump, of cause.
Do you know how to tell when Ben Bernanke is lying? whenever he moves his lips.
