Who is “Economy in Crisis”?
According to their “Who We Are” page (1), only the following three people are named: a 9/11 Truther, a radical left-wing Air America personality and a regular Huffington Post contributor. If you disagree with those sources, you may wish to reconsider the general validity of this article.
Here are the people listed on the “Economy in Crisis” “Who We Are” page:
PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS - 9/11 TRUTHER (2):
Roberts comments on the “scientific impossibility” of the official explanation for the events on 9/11. On August 18, 2006, he wrote:
I will begin by stating what we know to be a solid incontrovertible scientific fact. We know that it is strictly impossible for any building, much less steel columned buildings, to “pancake” at free fall speed. Therefore, it is a non-controversial fact that the official explanation of the collapse of the WTC buildings is false.... Since the damning incontrovertible fact has not been investigated, speculation and “conspiracy theories” have filled the void.[42]
In November 2012 Roberts, referred to al Qaeda’s role in the attack as “unsubstantiated.”[43]
THOM HARTMANN – AIR AMERICA RADIO (3)
“Thom Hartmann is the #1 progressive radio talk show host in the US”
PAT CHOATE – HUFFINGTON POST (4)
“In 1996, he was Ross Perot’s vice presidential running mate.”
“A man is known by the company he keeps.” If you don’t prefer to keep company with 9/11 Truthers, Air America, The Huffington Post, and central_va, please do skip this article.

Economy ins Crisis Primary Concerns:
Our primary concerns are in regards to the imminent consequences of our involvement in the WTO, NAFTA, NAU and the effects of European VAT Taxes. These issues, sometimes referred to as “free trade” in the popular press, are currently destroying the U.S. economy, yet very little is presently being written about them. We have become one of the leading sources of information on these and other topics affecting the American economy.
These issues also include:
• U.S. overdependence on imports
• Wholesale sellout of core strategic US assets to foreign acquirers
• U.S. inability to manufacture competitively
• Foreign control of vital US industries
• Dependence on credit and false wealth to maintain our current standards of living
• U.S. trade policies and other legislation contributing to these trends
Other U.S. Economic Issues
• Foreign financing of vast majority of government debt
• Outsourcing manufacturing, research, and design
• Transition to services-oriented economy
• Declining scientific, engineering, and technological prowess
• Wealth shift into less productive assets
• Record levels of personal, government, and trade deficits
• Misleading commonly used economic statistics
PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS, THOM HARTMANN and PAT CHOATE are not directly affiliated with economy in Crisis.
Your post is disingenuous.

I’d love to apply that same standard to the TPP supporters who don’t care that Malaysia uses ACTUAL slave labor.
I wonder how slave labor factors into economic freedom?
Call “free trade” what it is. Funding China’s military, space program, and infrastructure instead of ours.
oh.... you again...
go back to the union hall and tell them this free trade lie did not work..
tell the unionist’s they failed...
oh, and you should really read some books before spouting off bull crap...
bye....
