one of the big problems is the government has set up the indicators for the economy ass-backwards.

if fuel goes up, the economy MUST BE BOOMING! if food prices skyrocket? that is the sign of a booming economy, all the government looks at is how much money is spent --NOT what your getting for your money.

that is how this charade of the economic "boom" has kept going all these years.

if the government built an airplane with that same logic --the fuel tank would show FULL when it is really EMPTY!

we are all being duped by the government and mass media , the only thig keeping things going as well as they are is the US economy is like a really big hot air bag-- it is going down slowly and since it is so big it takes a long time for all the hot air to rush out.

the reverse is also true --it is going to take a lot of hot air to inflate this huge leaky air bag!

wouldn't it be better to plug the holes first?
