Good post. I explained the Misery Index to a young co-worker just yesterday. He said that I’d been around a long time and asked if the other recessions were like this. After the explanation of the misery that Jimmy Carter inflicted on us I told him about Reagan and what he did to turn this country around. I also told him that other negative dynamics are in play and have taken place that weren’t around during Carter. The scenario is very disturbing, I told him. We are in uncharted territory.

Is anyone else curious about the timing and source of the financial crisis that occurred near the end of the Bush Administration? While all financial institutions tanked, George Soros made 8% profit. He is a multi-billionaire money changer with a reputation for causing financial crises. He is also a Bush hating leftist.

If not George Soros, just how was the crisis orchestrated?

unemployment is at 8.9 percent and the rate of inflation is – 0.74 percent,

I think the unemployment rate is closer to 10%, if not above 10% - since many of the jobs are "partime" jobs - than the 9% referenced above. I'd also bet the inflation rate is more than .74% already.

See my tag line. I feel we will all be wishing for things to be only as bad as they were under jimmah cattah.

Never forget... the demoncraps held the purse-strings during the last two years of Bush' term. It was a demoncrap congress that failed this nation

If people fail to grasp the impending danger; nothing ever will help the United States.

That, I fear, is where you people are.

See what I posted almost two years ago.

I realize you probably work for the SS, or are calling the SS to report me to them.

Sheesh!!!
How many threats do they need?!
Did the threats top 2,000 last month, or was it 10,000?
I hope they continue to increase!

And, if you do work for them... if I were you, I'd resign.
Working for a FASCIST is life-threatening, and you can do better than the government.

I laugh at the thought.....

Thanks for the site, excellent info and the chart, makes it visual and easy to draw the conclusions, with or without offsets / shifts for policy effect taking place.

Good post!

Yes, it is incredibly fast because it is extremely radical and because it’s practically unopposed. Amd don’t forget we lived under some of these policies since 2007 Pelosi / Reid Congress, practically unchecked by President Bush.
