Losing our independence

As more Americans, especially the unemployed, come to rely on government to take care of them, we risk losing our independence. The Washington Times reports American reliance on government is at an all-time high. This is not our Founders’ America. We seem to have declined from a “can-do” spirit, to “can’t do” — at least without government — and soon, unless we change our ways, “won’t do.”

Failed job seekers add to homeless problem in N.D.

Failed job seekers add to homeless problem in N.D. More than almost any other state, North Dakota has escaped the worst effects of the national recession, but with its good fortune has come an unexpected problem: homelessness, as desperate job seekers flow into the state looking for work. Statewide, shelters are full, and soup kitchens are feeding as many as they can. Some homeless newcomers are living in cars, but as temperatures linger below freezing, many are bunking with acquaintances to avoid freezing.

Recession over but jobs remain a concern

Now that the Great Recession appears over, the economy looks to be entering a rocky recovery, in which much of the nation will continue to struggle well into 2010. The Associated Press’ monthly analysis of economic stress in more than 3,100 U.S. counties found the economy little changed in October compared with September. Some states saw slight improvement or stabilization, thanks to steadying foreclosure and bankruptcy rates. But the gains may be brief. Unemployment remains high, and the housing market is still weak.

Other views: Recession is easing in U.S.

It’s certainly too early to celebrate an end to the national recession, but credible analysts are reading new numbers and suggesting the beginning of the end is under way. The latest encouraging sign was last week’s July unemployment report, which was surprising in that it was not as bad as expected. That is, fewer jobs were lost than economy-watchers predicted. If the trend continues in August, it will suggest the economic free fall has bottomed out because the jobless rate always lags behind other indicators of recovery.
