And the Recession Goes On and On...

Bernanke must be on something, because he is hallucinating and seeing "green shoots" while the economy is still taking a beating. Unemployment has definitely already hit 10% (although BLS won't report the numbers till July 2), gasoline prices are high once again, and I can't tell the difference between graphs of the Dow and blueprints for a rollercoaster (except for the fact that Six Flags has gone into bankruptcy, so probably no one is making rollercoaster blueprints right now). Anyone who sees green shoots is probably on an acid trip.

My mother just got laid off a few days ago, after a 30-year tenure at her firm. To add insult to injury, HR tried to cheat her on her severance by telling her that she had only been with the firm for 25 years. Come on, people. Really, now.
