It’s a whole lot worse if you can do simple 3rd grade MATH!!

Budget 3.9 TRILLION
Deficit 544 BILLION

That amounts to about 12%, so if the GDP is .7% then we LOST 11.3% in the total economy.

That my friends is a DEPRESSION!!!

Time to rejigger the figures for the next quarter. In the past, we have been told it is a structural reporting problem that occurs in the 4th quarter.

Remembering the glowing economic assessments of the MSM at the end of last year.

What a surprise.

Even though this is bad news, it means the Fed will hold off on ending its quantitative easing policies, which sent the stock market soaring upwards.
