Food for thought.

"So, where? That question is the big unknown hanging over the U.S. economy. Until there’s an answer, an economic “recovery” for anyone other than big corporations, Wall Street, and the wealthy is a mirage."

As usual, he leaves out that the "recovery" also helped Big Government.

When WellPoint ratchets up premiums, that enlarges the GDP...

Well said, comrade. You are fully in lockstep with the Left's assault on insurance companies. However, GDP would not rise until WellPoint collected those premiums. Proposed rate increases don't help. Also, if I skipped buying a new TV to pay those premiuims, the net effect on GDP would be zero. Guess the truth really does need a bodyguard of lies.

Thanks for the post.

Other than supporting the assault on insurance companies, I found his analysis as pretty accruate.

The question it raises, how can anyone thoughtful and intelligent be a Leftist?

Does not compute.

Leftists built nothing, only confiscate and destroy things others build. Most damaging they destroy the human will.

Freedom, Truth and Honesty are the Left’s enemy. And they are the friends of a free people.

Defiance to tyrannts is obediance to God.

This from the Clintoon administration's Labor Secretary?

(None of this, by the way, is stopping supply-side fanatics from arguing government needs to cut taxes on big corporations in order to spur the recovery. Their argument is absurd on its face. Big companies don’t know what to do with all their cash they have as it is. They aren’t investing it in new plant and equipment and new jobs. So why should the government cut their taxes and enlarge their cash hoards even more?)

Ah, that's the Robert B. Richhhhhhhhha that I remember.
