Hye Jim,
The experts say that the economy might start rebounding in the 4th quarter or the first half of 2010.
I am torn on whether I want the economy to rebound. If it rebouds before the mid-term elections, then President Obama and his democrats will take the credit.
On the other hand, if the economy does not rebound then people will continue to suffer and unemployment will continue to rise.
However if the economy rebounds too quickly, then Americans will spend recklessly again. Not to mention that the gov't will continue its reckless spending with renewed exuberance.
On the other hand, I do not want to see my wages decrease and production to continue to decrease.
However, if the recession lasts just 2 years, then the laypeople will not learn their lesson.
On the other hand, if the recessioncontinues for another year plus then we will see major hunger issues.
So my thoughts are that we need to somehow fix the economy as a people not as a gov't, so that the president can't take credit.

Hey Jim, we had better tighten our seat belts because I see nothing but bad days ahead! However the EXPERTS say that the economy will bottom out August or the 4th quarter. Then the 1st half of 2010 will see moderate growth. I am torn as to whether I want the economy to rebound for many reasons.
First, if the economy rebounds before the mid-term elections then the democrats and the President will take the accolades and win even more congressional seats.
On the other hand, I do not want to see the economy continue to reel for obvious reasons including my wages.
Second, if the economy does rebound soon then the government and Americans will go back/continue to/in reckless spending.
On the other hand, I'd hate to see the continued decreased production in this country.
Third, I do not want lay people to not learn from this recession because it went away in just two years.
On the other hand, I do not want to continue to see neighborhoods demolished.
So I am as torn as one can be on the economy and its possible rebound.
