US: No Future

2011 will be remembered like a bad year for americans. In this year, the savings of those who are unemployed since 2009 had been spent. The US media announcing a new hiring but this still not enough to keep pace with the number of those who would normally have entered the labour force.

Happy new fear!!

The long crisis that began with the collapse of the housing bubble in 2007 and the subsequent recession will continue. For this year, 2012, the americans thiks that is possiblethat the United States will solve its political problems and finally bring down unemployment to 6% or 7%. But americans believes tha the pre-crisis level of unemploymente (4% or 5%) is too much to hope for.

Others problems like climate change and other environmental threats, high unemployment, and increased poverty and inequality in most countries around the world have not gone away.
The author thinks that addressing these long-term problems would actually help to solve the short-term problems. More progressive taxation policies such as, simultaneously reduces would increase employment and Inequality by boosting total demand. Or for example, higher taxes at the top could generate revenues to finance needed public investment, and to provide some social protection for those at the bottom, including the unemployed.

That is to see something good from everything bad that is expected for 2010
