We never fully recovered from the recession. The stimulus artificially created a "recovery" but those funRAB are all dried up by now. I think we'll see another recession, this time the way it was supposed to be without the government intervention. To make matter worse the political shitstorm will not add to any type of recovery if there was to be one.
What's sad is Gary Busey actually knew what he was talking about regarding finance\economy and I really miss his discussions and our exchanges. What's left are a bunch of penny stock pickers on OT. Reason why I stay away from most discussions now
Unless we get serious about fixing systemic problems, fixing infrastructure and fixing our tax code we're pretty well fucked.
Republicans won't spend the money and will call hedge fund managers paying income taxes. Democrats won't have the balls to tell the tea party or their own big donors to fuck themselves so instead they'll bend over instead of doing what should be done.
