There are two economies. The one depicted in government released reports, and the real one.
The trouble for Juan is that people live in the real one.
There’s a report this morning that with Obama’s interview on 60 Minutes, the show’s ratings fell 69 percent from the prior week. Obviously, Americans are fat, dumb and happy, enjoying the economic “boom” to the hilt so they know things are in good hands and they don’t have to listen as the president is always right. Interesting that the national “press”, in reporting the 60 Minutes rating drop: 1) blamed the lack of a football lead-in to 60 Minutes; and 2) somehow neglected to mention in their articles on the ratings drop that this was a segment in which Obama gave his interview to a grateful Steve Kroft.
