stock take sale with increased spending means Australia is one of only 2 developed nations not in recession.

we are growing :3

unemployment is still higher though. that cant be helped :/ there is also the issue of debt...

but it is good news

Recession has affected almost all parts of the world!
Software is now down...
But yeah, it will take atleast 2 to 3 years for the things to get back normal... ( hope so)

I find it amusing that people take it for granted that things will turn back to normal...

yeah, of course it will get better (especially with Obama in office [this is for america]) but still there is no gaurentee that anything will turn around any time soon. (it is getting better though)

i do not agree[ not about pres] but america getting better because USA has a temper and north korea threatend to bomb one of our ships last wednesday so if that happens and they declare on us it will likely be south korea, USA, UN VS north korea, Russia all over again except more people will be involved in the war im afraid. but if that doesnt happen we will get better but right now we are staying in the center nothing is getting better but its the same as to not getting better

russia will either

a.) assist UN+USA

b.) stay out of it..

they dont have the balls to take on USA

I already heard russia has twice the amounts of nukes as the usa.

Ehhhm, they won't dare to shoot them.

Besides, amount doesn't matter, both can blow up the world and whether you can blow it up once or twice really doesn't matter

I find it funny that Our president decided to spend more money(that we dont have) and give it to companies that have proven incapable of handling money.(counter productive much?)

I agree, you americans need to start thinking before voting >.<
