Recent economic data regarding jobs has many giddy that the recession is about to end. The talking heads in the media, the academic economists without real life private sector experience, and those who believe in leprechauns and magical pots of gold are not giving enough weight to the fact that the private sector employs fewer people today than it did ten years ago. From October 1999 to October 2009, the nation has 1.1 million fewer people working in the private sector.
The lack of outrage over the shortsighted-policies of the Bush and Obama Administrations are utterly amazing. Bush gave us a massive federal employer (Homeland Security) where billions upon billions were poured into numerous black holes in the name of terrorism and Obama has basically emptied the treasury.
How long will it take to recover from ten years of real job loss, to pay off a $12 trillion dollar debt (that continues to grow), to export more manufactured goods than we import, and return the nation to the status of being a world energy provider rather than dependent consumer? In one word: Decades.
