The Washinton Congress (group of baboons according to Merriam-Webster) wants you to believe that the only number that makes any sense today is the unemployment rate. Since the rate is lower than is was a year ago, it is smell of victory!

Since 2008, the average US salary have declined, Inflation has rise and this year our tax rate has gone up. This means the average 'disposable income' is down. Folks have less money to spend. That is why the economy is stagnant.

Also the banks are less willing to help with small business loans and mortgages. Foreclosures are still a dime a dozen. Even though the banks are ordered to help those who fell into hard times, they are very slow in processing yet quick to throw these folks out of their homes!

I could go on and on. Yes you are right, look at all the empty store fronts as you drive around. Browse the NNEREN website for forclosures. Judge for yourself how bad the situation is.
