    and now they are standing on he edge of the cliff ready to jump off....
    lads i am afraid to say that next year, 2010, is going to be alot worse.... i was only a kid in the 80's and never new much about the last recession as we were happy with what we had and didnt know better, unlike people today who spend, spend, spend and their children are used to getting every thing they want when they want it. anyone that lived and worked through the 80's that i know and talk to say it wasnt as bad as this as their was still money, although small, going around but there is just nothing at the moment. /i hope i am wrong.. but i believe next year will break alot of people.

    This could mean that we'll see a slight reduction in the unemployed percentage in 2010.
    It's roughly 11/12% now.
    Best case scenario we reduce it to 9/10% by this time next year. We still have a long way to go to full recovery. The rate of recovery won't be as steep as the rate at which we've fallen over the last 2 years.
    Also, there'll still be a lot of negative equity oh houses for a good few more years. Houses were very over-priced at the peak of the boom.

    There's still money but people have yet to realise that they don't need to spend it in order to keep up with the Jones's. Once someone has enough to feed the family & pay the bills as best they can then things ain't that bad.
    What they don't need to do is change the car in January, have three foreign holidays a year or wear clothes from a boutique.
    In all that has happened in the last few years I think this recession will benefit a lot of families in the long run.

    Only the first two posts in this thread have been.
    We have to consider the following:
    Would Fianna Fail gain support again if they fixed the economy before the next election?
    That's just hypothetical and will more than likely never happen in the next 2 years.

    If they managed to fix it fair dues but I still will never vote for them ever again.
    They are still the most money grubbing group of "mé feiners" around although I think that every single member of fianna fail should be strung up and beaten with a sock full of batteries to be a politician they should have a degree in economics and to be a minister they should have degrees in their allocated position or else its just stupid like all of them at the moment haha.

    while i agree with the anti fianna fail sentiment is the degree in economics not a bit specific? we'd be rather limiting the pool from which our representatives can be chosen..... i did several micro and macro courses on my undergrad course and believe me a lot of the people that passed them are still none the wiser to economic policy...
