How does one "fix" unemployment without spending money? Enlighten me.

I did... I did. But the peak was 14,000 and just looking at the stock market is not a good indicator- what kind of recovery could it be if job losses are still mounting and nobody is hiring? All indicators are that things are worse, or going to get worse than are being reported in the short term. That massive 18% drop in tax revenue to the govt., combined with out of control spending and soaring deficits is a harbinger of bad news to come.

The stock market is always going to be ahead of the curve. The market was depressed and went into freefall in anticipation of the big job layoffs we've seen and continue to see.

About 6 months ago I asked him hypothetically, if he had $50K lying around what he would do with it. He said he'd definitely invest a big portion of that in Caterpillar and/or other heavy construction corporations like that. Since then, Caterpillar has purged 30,000 jobs, seen profits head into the toilet, and closed down several plants. And, the construction industry as a whole is tanking. Good thing I didn't take his advice and invest in Caterpillar.

But that doesn't necessarily mean bad things for the company's stock price. In fact CAT is up 56% over the last 6 months and the end of February marked a 6yr low...

Closing down plants that are a drain on the company and shedding unnecessary labour is beneficial in the eye of the investor.

Monetary inflation is the increase in the money supply. The increase in prices of goods and/or services would be the effect of that.

the colonel profits!

Don't fucking remind me man. I was thinking to myself back in March "Hm, self, I should learn how to buy stocks so I can drop my savings into Ford and ride their recovery to riches."

Shares were around a buck in March...

In May, they hit 7...

I shoulda learned.

You weren't? Then why did you begin your sentence with, "Inflation means...", followed by your own small definition?

Replace "means" with any of these words...

add up, adumbrate, allude, allude to, argue, attest, augur, betoken, connote, denote, designate, determine, drive at, express, foreshadow, foretell, herald, hint at, imply, import, indicate, intimate, involve, name, point to, portend, presage, promise, purport, represent, say, speak of, spell, stand for, suggest, symbolize

More economic recovery news from today:

1) the services sector (80% of the American economy) contracted in July rather than expanded as expected.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/32296019

2) Planned layoffs (for the upcoming future) by businesses are up 31%, even though it's being reported that job losses have slowed in July... with the unemployment rate to reach 10.2% soon.
http://money.cnn.com/2009/08/05/new..._cuts/index.htm

3) If the recession is over and the stimulus is working, why is this happening: "The Senate yesterday passed a $124.3 billion agriculture spending bill that pays to add millions of people to the food-stamp rolls as rising numbers of the jobless are forced into the program. A record 34.4 million people -- or one in nine Americans -- were participating in the food-stamp program as of May. That's an increase of 650,000 people from the previous month and up 6 million from the same time last year."

perhaps you'd like to explain exactly which laws were broken by these "criminals"?

or are you just parading your usual ignorant BS?

Wikipedia: conspiracy theory guide

3. Reduces morally complex social phenomena to simple, immoral actions;

Impersonal, institutional processes, especially errors and oversights, interpreted as malign, consciously intended and designed by immoral individuals.

4. Personifies complex social phenomena as powerful individual conspirators;

Related to (3) but distinct from it, deduces the existence of powerful individual conspirators from the 'impossibility' that a chain of events lacked direction by a person.

The recession isn't over, but it's apparently obvious the worst is over. A few months ago we were worried about a systemic financial collapse. The markets are rallying because of the belief that the worst of the recession is over and also the influx of liquidity.
