"As experts debate the potential speed of the US recovery, one figure looms large but is often overlooked: nearly 1 in 5 Americans is either out of a job, too discouraged to look for a job, or working part-time, at a lesser wage. According to Labor’s broadest measure of unemployment, the U-6 jobless rate is 17.2%, the highest since the Great Depression of the 1930’s. Still, bond traders are looking through the front view window, not backwards, and see job creation returning next year."

Excuse me please, just when are the politicains going to wake up & stop snowing the public? Will we face another Depression? Seems like the Dollar will definitely collapse! Gold will benefit while the public suffer thro' this unfortunate mess - can't keep printing money forever - eventually the bubble will pop!
