Here is another essay, this one by Giordano Bruno, questioning with real data, the state of the "economic recovery". Here is an excerpt:
Mixed Signals Indicate Economic Disinformation
There are a number of half truths and financial fantasies floating around the U.S. today, which may explain why some have decided to throw caution to the wind, adopting a cult-like blind faith in the “unsinkable” American economy. I suspect that the consequences for this error in judgment will become quite clear to most by the end of next year, but until then, let’s examine our current situation, what the government has to say about it, and the reality they wish to gloss over.The rest of the story is here. And it's a good one.
