Re: time for you the ordinary people to say enough and start doing it
Kabu, once we get rid of the current administration, it's full steam ahead. Then, and then only, with govt. handcuffs removed, can ordinary people function as they certainly can -and prosper.

Wiley, in the U.S. the middle class, indeed, the poor & rich
are, in growing numbers, eager to change administrations for folks dead-set on fewer regulations, lower govt. spending and taxes, so there will be genuine job growth.

sam444, we must be reading some of the same reports.
According to one, as you mentioned, the unemployed #s are higher because some folks have run out of unemployment insurance and are not included.

The solar company was in trouble well before the loan and I believe people in Washington knew and made the bad loan anyway! Now I suspect there will be the blame game without those who should have denied the loan go unscathed! The Government confounds me at times! As far as I am concerned the claims are only part of the equation for there are many who have exhausted benefits and are still unemployed! Another recession might end up being the straw that breaks the camel's back and the Government declares bankruptcy; for me it is a real possibility and then what a tangled web we weave when we elect a democrat that is so inexperienced that the country takes a nose dive into peril! sam
