Wierdest Looking Recovery I've Ever Seen
So, I'm really confused. Are we or are we not on the upward slope to recovering from our dismal economic circumstances? I read today that durable goods and housing sales plunged in August. That doesn't sound very promising but Joe Biden says that the stimulus has worked “better than we hoped.” It seems strange to me that no one I talk to seems very confident in his statement, actually just the opposite. Yesterday while visiting my home town I was amazed by what I saw. I lived there for 38 years and I have never seen as many closed businesses. To top it all off, they have opened a plasma donation center and people were lined out the door and around the building! I WAS HORRIFIED. Some recovery!
I continue to hear of more and more layoffs including my own sister who after 24 years with Ryder was permanently laid off and has no new job prospects even though she has applied for the most menial of jobs. Mr. Biden... perhaps you've lost touch since you've been sitting pretty up in the big white house. It's hard to see what's going on from the inside of your fancy new bullet proof limo.
Also, I'll just say this... Mr. President and Secretary Clinton... Contractors are taxpaying workers. Stop vilifying them like you do the oil companies, drug companies, insurance companies and every industry you feel are "too profitable". Contractors jump through hoops to work according to the guidelines and regulations that YOU set forth. Many hard working Americans get up every morning and go to work for contracting companies and are paid according to YOUR salary guidelines. So, when you hear Mrs. Clinton pledging to cut 100s of Thousands of contractor jobs guess what.... THEY ARE JOBS!
Oh, and by the way, many contract workers actually have to obtain and hold secret clearances... hmmm... I wonder if you could pass that test?
