According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the recession in the U-S ended in 2009. According to the government the national unemployment rate is 5.6%. If times are so good why are so many people having a hard time making ends meet? Creighton University Economist Ernie Goss crunched numbers and says some need to take off the rose colored glasses.

Goss says government officials are also not taking into consideration stagnant wages.

Goss says our economy would be in much better shape if the government would not get involved with bailing out large companies. He says both democrats and republicans are guilty of this.
