Economists debate how far US economy will fall

Polls show overwhelming numbers of Americans believe the U.S. economy is in a recession, although government statistics have yet to show a period of negative growth that meets the technical definition. What is known is that the American economy has slowed dramatically, and that the U.S. housing and credit markets are in turmoil while the dollar plummets and inflationary pressures are on the rise.

See what an Ivy league education can do for you. Put you in positions of power, but little real knowledge of how it all really works. These globalists and supply side economists have destroyed hundreds of years of hard gained knowledge of the markets and how they work in favor of heretical economic Theories.

Check out the following story - we don't have any control over the economy anyhow. The wealthy bankers are controling it all.

It is just part of the decline of the American empire and the fall of the standard of living to South America's mean.

Get used to it and dont make waves. People want what you've got. And the government means to give it to them.
good to me

Thanks for the link to the article. It explained the situation a bit clearer than previous accounts have.

Our government bases the state of the economy on how well corporations and the filthy rich are doing.They do not include the public. Thats why there are two different opinions.

We can't have a depressed economy. The government has enabled our manufacturing to be moved overseas killing whole industries and has become the largest employer. Socialist countries don't have depressions with everyone employed by the democratic government who luvs you and communist China and enables millions of illegals to invade the country and constuct houses, roads, and infra structures and giuves 1.4 billion bucks to Mexico to fight drugs, etc., etc.,

Not too long ago the DOW was setting records everyday. Someone mentioned thanking Bush for their IRAs making money.
The hate mongers screamed that neither Bush nor ANY president has nothing to do with the DOW..

So what are you babbling about homer?

wow,,

thats a very deep analysis for a succint post.

Destroy business by spying on it.

its bad enough the IRS are on your back but having the white House peering thru your business door in galling. Dick Cheney breathing over my shoulder would be no booast of confidence for me. And that's panned out in reality. Bona fide business is leaving the US. Coca Cola & Mc Donalds will be running the whole shebang.
walmart will be in there somewhere, selling $700 that cost 50c to be made in Chinese sweat shops. Americans really have no conscience and wonder about the situations they get themselves into.

MONEY

Since ancient times man has had a need for barter
Which is a French word that means to exchange or trade.
Before we relied on paper or metal coins
Arrangements for food, clothing and shelter were made.

As man developed, there was more to be exchanged
And one of the earliest forms of cash was cattle.
He who owned the most livestock was the richest man
Purchasing slaves, solders and weapons for battle.

Paper has been used since the tenth century A.D.
Because it was easier to carry than coin.
Used by every civilized country in the world
As their economies merged and joined.

Some say that money is the root of all evil.
Though the substance of evil is none other than man.
It's not money that causes most of what's wrong
But the ignorance of man, and his misguided hand.
