if you hear a report from NPR or other mainstream shows, you will hear that the Fed is bond-buying. “They completely leave out the fact that the Fed is creating new money in order to do its bond-buying.

Uh. . . . Duh !!

Fake money covers all sins.
Entitlements funded by fake money bought the 2012 election.

The USA is like that family in 2007 riding a wave of fake prosperity with a McMansion with negative equity, two leased luxury SUVs, and maxxed out credit cards.

... if we calculate unemployment as they did in the 1930s, we would have unemployment numbers that rival that era. The only reason we have the percentages we have now (6.7%) is because “we don’t include those who have dropped out of looking for a job, who have given up. If we included those, the unemployment number would be at 20%.”

The reason the New York Times won't cover this story is they're part of the same type of scam... The old Audit Bureau of Circulations (now renamed) had jigged the numbers for Newspapers the same way...

Depression should be expected when our international crony capitalists spent the past dozen plus years exporting our economy to the rest of the world.

Look at what you buy, see where it is made, and realize how we have been screwed.

He is right about one thing, we are in a depression.

But he is wrong about why. We are in this mess for the same reason that cause the great depression. Government handouts and socialism.

Get government out of the way and this economy will spring back to life. Stop the handouts to the dead beats and they will get up and get a job or create one.

An honest, Christian Chief Executive would acknowledge this and try to do something about.

Well, we all know that what we gots ain’t that, fo’ damn sure!

When the Federal Reserve is disbanded the full scale of America’s economic destruction will be evident. We are in a hidden depression for years and the Americans that are sucking on the welfare had no idea the destruction they are causing. It is mounting and when the Feds are kicked out of our economy the crash will happen in days, maybe almost immediately. America is finished and may never recover but might become a dictatorship

If we included those, the unemployment number would be at 20%.”

That's been my experience in job hunting on and off the past five years. The job market is brutally tough.
