Things are getting better....why do you think the Rs are so upset?

I will be happy if the economy picks up, regardless of who the president is.

Of course the anemic state of economy, combined with deficit that is highest as a percentage of GDP since WW2 is not really anything to celebrate...

>The money has just started to roll in. The Fed. Reserve reported a $52 billion profit for 2009, the best in its history. There is all that stock in JPM, BAC, C etc held by the gov't. Every time the stock goes up the American taxpayer makes money. The banks are repaying their loans with interest.

So essentially we're relying on making the banksters richer. That's not a good thing.
