The Recesion is Over?

In yet another slap in the face to the American people, the government has come out and said the recession we are in actually ended in July of 09. That's great news to us. Prosperity has returned along with well paying jobs, free health care, lower taxes and money literally falling out of my ass. Oh wait a minute. None of that actually happened. As a matter of fact, we seem to be worse off than a year ago. Unemployment is still sky high, 22% at last look, no one is hiring except at the lowest levels of the food chain and more and more people are hating their jobs. For example, the job I was laid from twice has undergone another round of layoffs, getting rid of the managing editor who worked his butt off, several reporters (because who needs reporters when you run a newspaper) and several other "nonessential" personnel. My boss, before I left, was kicked out of her office and actually demoted to secretary as well as her usual duties to save money. This is the story of today. Companies will force you to do multiple jobs for no extra pay so that they can save money to cram into their pockets. Or, as in my case and several other people, we are laid off and younger, less experienced (ie cheaper) are hired instead. And what happens whenever this occurs? Quality goes down. Way down. Just ask Circuit City how that business strategy worked. Oh wait you can't. They went out of business, the same direction many a company is doing.
And with the idiot public screaming about big government they fail to see the big business is far far worse. Unless of course you don't like things like vacation time, sick days or adequate pay. These are things that unions got us. Unions that are spit on by most Republicans as Anti-American. Now big business is killing us and soon we'll all be slaves to minimal wage and horrid working conditions. Forget the middle class. It's gone. Now it's survival of the fittest. Some wall street wank the other day had the gaul to ask Obama why they were picking on him and his friends. BECAUSE YOU'RE DOUCHEBAGS WHO HAVE DESTROYED THIS COUNTRY THAT'S WHY YOU HACK. Coupled with the idiocy of the American people I have come to the conclusion that democracy is dead and we have killed it with our stupidity. Maybe some sort of democratic/dictatorship is what is necessary at this point because the method we have now is crap. How about you have to pass some sort of civics test to vote. Anyone who fails can then send their vote to a previously elected person whose sole job is to represent the people of a certain district who did not pass said test. His job is to vote in the best interest of the people he represents, not big business or big government. He cannot be a religious figure or political hack. He can own no stock in any company. No contributions from any source over 1000$ will be allowed. In this way maybe we can sort out the morons who are being manipulated by the dems or repubs. These people are too stupid to vote and should be disallowed less the future of our country is at risk. I know its a huge step but that's what is needed nodays. Don't believe me . Read any message board about any political topic and 2/3s of what is written in factual nonsense. It's amazing that in this day and age of information that somehow we are becoming a dumber people. Pick up a friggin' book people. Both parties need to go and a true overhaul of our system is needed. But that won't happen easily or possibly at all. If we fail, we all fail. I think that's exactly where we are headed. The Hindenburg Omen still has a few weeks left before we are in the clear. But with the stock market behaving oddly right now, I still fear for the worst.
