What do you do with the politicians who say we are in a steady recovery? Keynes advocated spending when in recession, but according to politics and the media we are no longer in recession, we are in recovery. If we are in recovery, then all we need to do is continue what we are doing, whichj is printing money (formally known as "Quantative Easing&quot , cutting federal spending, raising taxes, and everyting will eventually, someday in the future, be absolutely perfect.

Now, you and I may have a different picture of what is happening with the economy, but you and I are wrong. The stock market proves us wrong, as do housing prices and "leading economic indicaters."

What are you going to believe? The media and our elected leadership, or your own lying eyes?
