Oh jeez.... what's even more depressing is...

Unemployment going down has NOTHING to do with people going to work. It went down from 10.1% to 9.3% because people gave up looking for jobs.

The jobs added actually aren't even keeping up with population growth...

Yeah USA needs a job growth of 200.000-300.000 jobs a months on average ofcourse to atleast stabilize the 'real unemployed number'

Real unemployment number is around 17%

And at the same time still no measure for the debt:

As of June 29, 2011, the Total Public Debt Outstanding of the United States of America was $14.46 trillion and was approximately 98.6% of calendar year 2010's annual gross domestic product (GDP) of $14.66 trillion.^[2][3][4] Using 2010 figures, the total debt (96.3% of GDP) ranked 12th highest against other nations

Things like this are why I am working as hard as I can to crash-proof my life.

And by crash-proof, ensure that I and my family can survive even in the worst of times through self-sustained living and targeted investments that can't be effected by the government.
