The unemployment rate is now 7.2%. There are 11,100,00 folks out of work. If you add in “other” factors and categories, the rate is really 13.5%. This is a de-cession. Since all the “brains” out there with their Ivy League educations, advanced degrees and Wall St. experience can’t seem to understand what the hell is happening and how to fix it or what to call it, I came up with “de-cession.” After all I did minor in economics in college. LOL. Maybe we should start by demanding that the Fortune 1000 stop sending our jobs overseas. Enough with the outsourcing nonsense. Keep manufacturing here and forget the Pacific Rim for a few years. We need to rebuild what Mrs. Grumpy and I call the “foundation.”
