Despite all the happy talk put out the last few years by the Obummer Ministry of Propaganda, everyone outside of D.C. knows the economy sucks.
But no one in America who watches CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC and possibly FOX knows from the reporting that the economy sucks. The Fed prints, the Fed buys stocks, stocks go up and eventually the Fed sells the stock at initially higher prices and then lower prices to fund future government expenditures.
