The recession is a period of decline in output, income, retail sales, etc. We are leaving that period. But, the depression is still with us in the form of structurally high unemployment, stagnant to declining real wages and a need to deleverage. Maybe Americans will wake up from their stupor and demand a change. That probably won't happen unless we see a complete collapse.

When people start getting cold and hungry we'll see riots.
