Is the recession really over?

I don't think it's over.  The current problems took decades to build, they won't go away in just a few months.

No, its just all  talk from the government trying make themselves look good by saying it's over.

I don't think so.  If it was, there would be a lot more people working and a lot less collecting unemployment money from my tax dollars.

Unemployment is not from your tax dollars, its from their tax dollars for the time they have worked in previous years.  Where did you get the idea that its your tax dollars?
