... I'm continually surprised that people actually believe the MSM/govt narrative that the economy is recovering. It is, but so slowly as to be unrecognizable as a recovery. We're already 6 years into a process that used to take 20 months or so, and we have no where near "recovered".

Between nonsense statistics like U1 which mean NOTHING, and the fact that the jobs that are "returning" are mostly McJobs with low pay, no benefits, or part time, this is no recovery. At all.
