economy worsens

Labor department says year over year initial jobless claims are up 28%. That means as bad as things were last year, and trust me they were not good, this year it is worse 28%. In fact our economy is still in a tail spin heading for a crash. This does not sound to me as an economic recovery. I mean our severe recession started in 2007, and here we are in core 2009 and it is getting worse.
