How’s that hopey changey working out for ya? It’s actually not working very well for quite a few people. They can yammer on about the recession having ended in June 2009, but, consumers, citizens, the American People, just know that things are bad all over, aren’t getting better, and our lords and masters who control the Federal government haven’t a clue how to get things working
U.S. consumer bankruptcy filings rose 11% in the first nine months of this year, versus the same period in 2009, the American Bankruptcy Institute said Monday, citing data from the National Bankruptcy Research Center. Filings totaled 1,165,172 nationwide during the first nine months of 2010, compared to 1,046,449 total consumer filings during the same period a year ago. The bankruptcy filings so far in 2010 represent the highest total since 2005. “We expect that there will be nearly 1.6 million new bankruptcy filings by year end,” ABI Executive Director Samuel Gerdano said in a statement. Consumer bankruptcies totalled 130,329 in September. That was 3.3% up from August 2010

“Happy days, are here again……”
You know things are bad when the media cannot avoid telling us, eh?
