"Recovery!" WHAT Recovery??

Personally, I prefer a phosphorus currency; you just have to spend it before it burns a hole into your pocket.

Is the US economy in recovery or is it entering a Depression?

I think we're being kept out of a depression by our government but overall if you haven't had a job in over a year you are suffering a depression after a fashion on a mineature level. I know a person who hasn't worked in 99 weeks.

I think I'd be at least out mowing lawns or something. Absent some physical reason why you can't, of course. Also assuming you really needed the money.

I don't think the "underground economy" counts in this discussion. Craigslist is hopping vigorously.

I'm not really qualified to make a valid statement about economics, but two things come into mind:
1.) Tony Robbins is a self-help spokesman. Why should I give a hoot about his opinion in economics?
2.) Its hard to take anything seriously from an already biased website... "The-economic-collapse=blog"

Well, I am qualified, and I say it´s bollocks. Jihad Jane keeps trotting out random nutters who happen to say what she believes, with zero evidence for their claims.

According to the webpage we should trust Tony because of "the incredible connections that he has at the highest levels of the financial world"

I find that humorous, not only because of the unnamed connections but also for the use of the word incredible. A recent article in The Economist deals with how to know when your boss is lying. I think this applies just as well to folks who are trying to sell you something.:

They also use fewer “non-extreme positive emotion words”. That is, instead of describing something as “good”, they call it “fantastic”. The aim is to “sound more persuasive” while talking horsefeathers.

The stimulus creating and saving jobs was as real as Obama's father serving in WWII.

Actually he said his 'father' served in WWII. I misquoted him, sorry. The point being his father could not have served in WWII, and there is no recovery from the stimulus. If you choose to believe the liar-in-chief, you are free to do so, as that is your right. But the stimulus saving jobs is a sick joke, but a joke none the less.

I afraid I'm not up to speed on Obama's dad but the denial about the state of the US economy transcends traditional political divides.

Click me.
 
Wait a minute, are you suggesting there is outrage about Obama based entirely on false premises?

That doesn't seem likely. His opponents are legendary for their credibility and integrity.
