And everyone that Bush was the problem. Obama hasn't changed anything. The stimulous package, what a joke. All it did was make Obama's self-rightous friends richer and the rest of the nation poor. All the current admin. wants to do is spend, spend, spend!! Obama's admin. is no better than Bush.

Obama and the Democrats said the recession is over! Get it now? Obama lies!

Are you an economist? If not, then what are your qualifications to judge whether or not the recession is over. Those professional economists are the ones who made the determination -- not Obama or the Democratic Party. Since I have no qualifications to judge otherwise, I accept their findings. The recession IS over!

There would be several million jobs available if Americans would stop hiring illegal aliens. I am not just talking about the large companies that are doing it, but individual homeowners. Now, if you have some money, is the time to get that new roof, basement finished, an addition, or a remodel, because contractors and suppliers are giving excellent bids.

The illegal aliens, or their contractor bosses, can give the best bids, but if you are taking these bids, shame on you! I just finished my basement to the tune of over $40,000 and I know that no illegal labor was used, and with a little effort I still got good work and prices from legal employers and workers. You just have to make a little extra effort because honest contractors and their employees are having a hard time, and giving good prices.

The same thing goes when you are shopping at McDonalds, Wendy's, Burger King, etc. If you think they are using illegal workers don't patronize them. Don't patronize any business that you think is using illegal labor against our own workers. If you can't tell err to the side of American workers.

Graft to the socialists is killing the economy. More money to welfare increases welfare and unemployment.
