Notice the huge variance between the official inflation numbers and the results from Shadow Stats using the original calculation method.

Worth reminding people of this page, available in the left menu.

There appears to be quite a wide spread between the official numbers and the less misleading figures shown above.

See that huge spike in M1 and M3 is still shrinking!

Fantasyland Fable From a Vested Interest Soothsayer?

USA Recovery Picking up Speed, says Economist
Feb 21, 2011

Quote:
The USA economy has recovered and its expansion is beginning to accelerate, a USA economist says. Principal Global Investors chief economist Bob Baur says US gross domestic product (GDP) is back to pre-global financial crisis levels.

"I would say the USA recovery is over ... we're into an expansion. Real GDP is now above its December 2007 highs. So we've reached a new peak," Baur told AAP in an interview. "By the technical definition of a recovery, the recovery is over and now we're into an expansion."

The USA annual rate of GDP growth in the December 2010 quarter was 3.2 per cent, and 2.6 per cent in the September quarter. Before the global financial crisis, the annual rate was 2.9 per cent in the December 2007 quarter, and 2.3 per cent in the September quarter of that year.

Thoughts So

I was wondering where to put that item.
It just seemed so tellingly apposite, eh?
Moving right along . . .

America Can't Deal With Reality -
We Must Be Exposed to the Truth,
Even If It Hurts

So saith Bill Moyers

Many people inhabit a closed belief system
on whose door they have hung the "Do Not
Disturb"
sign.

Hilarious. But . . .

.
Even if it hurts?
