I would have to agree with you on everything about the U.S. economy being in a recession. And yeah if you compare us to other struggling countries, we aren't so bad but I'm willing to say that this is the lowest the U.S. has ever been and yeah I'm including the Great Depression. This time in day with technology grows faster and faster, nobody can afford to fall behind financially but a lot of us are.

Yes 9/11 may have been the start of this economy downfall and yes we have never recovered since then because right after the attacks we went into war and war costs a lot of money. This country has been struggling both financially and emotionally since we have started this war. Middle class is now lower class and the majority of Americans are under that poverty line.

But I disagree with you on whether or not we should election a Democrat (which has already been done). I believe we need something else because another George Bush (Republican). This country has been under President Bush for the past 8 years and what has he done to help fix the U.S.? Nothing he is still wanting to stay in this war, he would rather bail out these banks than his own fellow Americans, and he gave us one stimulus check which didn't do a darn thing.

I believe this country needs change and a Democrat would be better during this time of need.
