Poll question: What do you call the economic situation of 2010?

The Media seems to be setting on 'great recession'

[KurtNYC]

1. The third year of a depression

[FreakinDJ]

2. The 2nd Great RATpubliCON Depression

[flvegan]

3. Clusterfuckation.

[Dr Morbius]

4. I call it crappy. Or shitty, depending on my mood.

I imagine there's a more palatable technical term, but this works for me.

[Just One Woman]

5. Conjured Chaos

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. Republicans' fault. n/t

[rucky]

7. It's a lot clearer when you describe it in political terms:

Plutocracy.

[ThomWV]

22. You win the "Well chosen word" award for the week

[upi402]

8. Rick Sanchez may think it's a depression... finally

If the media talking hairdo's were in a merit based industry, they'd find out just how tough it is when America has no industry anymore.

Idiots, traitors, and cons -oh my!

[dionysus]

9. a big recession

[doc03]

10. The fact is we are in a recovery, a slow one but a recovery.

It may even better this way, if the GDP was increasing too much the government would have to increase interest rates to slow it down and we would also be in danger of high inflation.

[HughMoran]

11. technically it's a recovery

a bumpy one

[Angry Dragon]

12. Shit on a stick

[pscot]

13. The New Economy

[WorseBeforeBetter]

17. N + E would look pretty nifty in blue circle. (n/t)

[The Northerner]

14. The Second Great Depression

[Electric Monk]

15. The Bush Legacy. nt

[independent_voter]

16. massive unsustainable debt stimulus propping up a failed 'free trade' model

and we either address the underlying problems or we go over a cliff

frankly, we're exactly where Ross Perot said we would end up in 1992

[Common Sense Party]

18. Other: slow, grinding, barely perceptible beginning of a recovery.

Those that voted 'Depression' would do well to study the last one.

[guardian]

19. Recovery Summer??? n/t

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

20. The Great Awakening. A consumer economy without consumers doesn't work.

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

21. Depression

[Individualist]

23. FUBAR

[spanone]

24. the results of eight years of de-regulation coming home to roost

[taught_me_patience]

27. It's actually been 30 years of destroying the middle class

Coming home to roost.

[bemildred]

25. Reaganomics. nt

[taught_me_patience]

26. Slow recovery since March 2009

Where is that choice in the push-poll?

[quiller4]

28. With sales up nearly 11% over this time last year, unemployment

in my region down 3.5% from its peak, I say we are very, very slowly emerging from a deep recession but are still in a recession. I am more optimistic than I was this time last year because regional stores are already advertising for holiday help and announce that they will add more than twice the seasonal employees they did last year. There has also been a big uptick in the number of major corporations sending recruiters to area colleges.

[LongTomH]

29. How about: Total Fucking Economic Collapse?

:grr:

[HughBeaumont]

30. Capitalisn't.
