While its true we don't have inflation the dollar is at an all time low with gold sitting at $1200.00 With no money in circulation there is no movement in goods and services thus no new jobs we have stagnation. Giving Banks the stimulas money while allowing them to hord it rather than put it into circulation is the very worse thing we could have done and adding taxes on top of that will only drive this economy into reverse imvho. In all honesty I can see the unemployment rising again as employers try to cut expences and do more with less.
