......but even just this sampling makes it obvious that America has bigger problems than Washington and the Federal Reserve let on. How are they able to obscure this fundamental reality? Mostly by allowing the asset bubble in stocks and the housing market to continue to inflate. Those who spend their days studying the economy get wrapped up in their daily profits and new stock highs, missing the bigger picture.

These "genius" investors simply react to the lies published by Obama's BLS and then trade Billions depending on which way Janet Yellen parts her hair in the morning. They know NOTHING of the real economy, just the inflated Bubble of the soon to be destroyed Stock Market.

These speculators ignore not only the experience of Main Street Americans represented in these charts, but also the elephant in the room: If the economy has recovered, why hasn’t the Fed raised interest rates? The answer is clear: an economy that is worse off than it was when interest rates were higher cannot sustain an interest rate hike. At least, not with an even worse crisis than what came before…

Most of us can kiss it all goodbye - our IRA, 401K, and savings. What is not lost in the coming Absolute Depression will be seized by the Federal government.

The current economy resembles the world of “The Hunger Games”. A ruling elite in D.C. and NYC accumulates ever more wealth and talks about how wonderful the economy is doing. Meanwhile out in District 12, the average Joe is trying to hang onto his job and pay for increasingly expensive food and fuel; which the official government statistics discard when measuring inflation.
