Economists fear recovery will leave more behind than in past recessions

BUENA PARK, Calif. - Even as the American economy shows tentative signs of a rebound, the human toll of the recession continues to mount, with millions of Americans remaining out of work, out of savings and nearing the end of their unemployment benefits.

Economists fear that the nascent recovery will leave more people behind than in past recessions, failing to create jobs in sufficient numbers to absorb the record-setting ranks of the long-term unemployed.

Call them the new poor: people long accustomed to the comforts of middle-class life who are now relying on public assistance for the first time in their lives â€” potentially for years to come.

Yet the social safety net is already showing severe strains. Roughly 2.7 million jobless people will lose their unemployment check before the end of April unless Congress approves the Obama administrationâ€™s proposal to extend the payments, according to the Labor Department.

We did it before when we had millions of Americans unemployed, and we can do it again!

A shame the woman in the article turned to Christianity instead of politics.

It seems a part of the general trend of PTB ditching the people whose supposed grievances they milked to get where they are. Like Father Plegar (sp) dishing on Hillary, and by extension the white-liberals like her in the socializing classes---teachers, media workers, social workers, etc... "You stole my birthright!"

And then brown was the new black.

They want rid of the African Americans, the white liberal lemmings, and half-of-the country's women, who were forced into work by the "recession," at that time and Johnson, the 60s/70s people who rallied behind the democrats, thinking it was about them.

Now the bank has all the money. It needs a new team who won't remember them.

Poor Ms. Eisen--- and the 45-65 female demographic that outwore it's little usefulness, many of whom don't even get her benefits b/c they were just an nth more successful.

It's like Breitbart and Daryl Jenkins having that altercation. Neo-cons cut loose.

I don't believe, for a moment, that we are in a recovery; it's all just propaganda to bolster Obama's flagging popularity. I hope I'm wrong but the worst may yet be to come.
