There is no hopes that the economy in the US will
 improve any time i in the future.
Most of all the manufacturing jobs have been
outsourced overseas because of the cheaper labor,
low, and slave like wages, with no benefits.
According to Economists such as John Williams of Shadowstats.com
the real unemployment is about
21% and higher. I have known people that have been
without jobs for two years. Many had their hour cuts,
and many jobs available are now down to part time,
less than 30 hours.
The ruling elite that controls all facets of the
government, and the mass media constantly spill
out false information, misinformation, and out right
lies.
