Get Used To a Bipolar Economy

Bi-Polar Economy

If the diagnosis is a bi-polar, can big-pharma inject some SSRI's into the economy?

They would make a killing.....

dont confuse simpletons with the truth nor the facts

Thank God there are people out there who have a gift for seeing the general as well as the specific, and are not easily fooled with euphoric cheerleading from the sidelines without undertanding the underlying facts.

Just like the idiot that was running Chrysler into the ground and voting himself a golden parachute for retirement while selling off millions in assets(other companies owned as subsidiaries)and pretending that all was well just because he made the stock price look good to share holders, but knowing that the corporation was almost bankrupt before Lee Iocoka had to come in and clean up his mess by getting government loans which Lee I. was able to eventually pay back. DO NOT BE DECIEVED BY SIMPLETONS WHO DO NOT GIVE YOU ALL THE FACTS!!!!

Anyone that lies to you and says you don't need to know all the facts or just ignore that 900lb gorilla (overextended debt and derivatives)that is sqaushing our economy, is hiding something and they do not want you to figure out what our true situation is. Probably because they have hidden agendas, or want you to pay for their insane investment policies(like our suicidal trade policies with China). Keep in mind a persons "stand on an issue" is directly related to where they "sit". If only our politicians had such ethics and desire for truth in reporting. I would much rather go back to the old Dragnet motto: "Just the facts mam".It seems that they always get left out these days.

Growth

Good article. We've reached the GDP inversion point. Since our GDP is now mostly based on accumulating consumer debt rather than creating wealth, this means that growth in GDP reflects declining net worth, or increasing poverty. While Americans are finally trying to control credit card spending, the per capita debt arising from borrowing from China to pay for government services like healthcare, financial industry cronyism, wars, education, etc., is exploding.

Poor folks can live large by borrowing more and more money, thereby achieving a great GDP/capita, but only temporarily.
