The stock market is a bubble.
Bernanke and Obama are printing up massive amounts of money and throwing it all at the Wall Street casino.

If the economy were really doing well, employment would be going up, not the value of economically meaningless chips on the Wall Street craps table.

There are less jobs now in America than existed in 1979 thanks to Obama. Not only that, but they are much worse jobs... Walmart jobs, McDonalds burger flipper jobs...

Don't believe those phony unemployment numbers that the government and lapdog media are trying to sell you. Look at the truth - the "Labor Force Participation Rate" - this counts up all working age adults and then counts how many of them are working. Simple and straightforward without the lies and manipulation.

The Labor Force Participation Rate

You can look this up on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' home page.

The Labor Force Participation Rate VS The Unemployment Rate

The official unemployment rate automatically counts someone as employed once they are out of work for 6 months.
Ridiculous!

That is how politicians solve problems, by hiding them.

When you count up unemployment, it is a "TWO STATE" condition - a person may be either:
   1.) Employed
   2.) Unemployed

So when the stop counting someone as unemployed, by default the liars count that person as employed after six months.

If they wanted to tell the truth, they would count them as employed when they actually found a job.

That's why you can only trust the Labor Force Participation Rate.

No problem. The economy just grew 3% through the magic of adding “intangibles”...

And to think, I was having a relatively GOOD Day!

I'm sorry, but I think articles like this are very misleading. All of the references to commodity prices are based on these prices in U.S. dollars. As I've said many times previously when the prices of these commodities were going through the roof, the biggest factor in the wild swings of these prices isn't supply or demand -- it's the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other world currencies.

For proof of this, just look at how much the price of oil has changed in the last 15 years. Oil was around $15/barrel in the late 1990s and has been as high as $140 in recent years. Does anyone out there really believe that the demand for oil has increased ten-fold in the last 15 years, or that the supply today is around one-tenth of what it was 15 years ago? LOL.
