You can believe statistics released by the Obama administration or your eyes. Somehow an economy built on trillions of borrowed money, trillions more printed, with a hundred trillion of unfunded liabilities, continued deficit spending, led by a man who abhors productive capitalism, leads an anti carbon energy crusade, and publishes thousands of restrictive rules and regulations does not seem to sit on a firm foundation.
Until we get reforms to reduce the burden on businesses (especially regulatory and taxation), we won’t get a real economic recovery like we saw in the 1980’s.
