Several economic indicators for the US show deceleration. Yet the stock market and house prices continue to grow.
Here is a chart of three economic indicators with clear downward momentum: civilian labor force participation (blue), the US homeownership rate (red) and real median household income (green).

And Goldman Sachs just downgraded Q4 2013 real GDP growth to 1.3%.
These downward indicators compliment the declining M1 Money Multiplier and M2 Money Velocity.

Why? There are enormous excess reserves in the Fed system that aren’t leaking out to Main Street. And The Fed’s Balance sheet has exploded! (in terms of size).

Fortunately, house prices and the S&P500 have risen despite the negative economic indicators.

This is a contrary economic recovery with declining labor force participation, homeownership and real income. I can take a wild guess at what Janet Yellen will prescribe as “the cure.”
Yet, the corrupt MSM continue to give Obama a pass and constantly say everything is on the upswing. They have been reporting that everything is on the upswing for 5 years and NOTHING improves - nothing. The economy is still in the ditch and nearly every other economic indicator proves this.
The very sad part? There is NOTHING on the horizon indicating any real change or improvement.
Guess my eyesight's not what it used to be.
You, sir are a fraud. Posting these threads without the supporting documents and charts.

Thanks
