The Economic Crash So Far: A Look At The Real Numbers<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are many problems when attempting to track a faltering economy. For one, the people in government generally do not want the public to know when the system is in decline because this looks bad for them. They prefer to rig statistical indicators as much as possible and hope that no one notices. When the crash occurs, they then claim that \u201cno one saw it coming\u201d and the disaster \u201ccame out of nowhere\u201d, so how could they be to blame?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have even heard it argued that political leaders, including the president, have a \u201cduty\u201d to lie about the state of the economy because once they admit to the decline they will cause a panic and perpetuate the crisis. This is stupidity. If an economic system is in disrepair and is built on a faulty foundation, then the problems should be identified and fixed immediately. The weak businesses should be culled, not bailed out. The wasteful government spending should be cut, not increased. The downturn should not be hidden and prolonged for years or decades. In most cases, this only makes the inevitable crash far worse and more damaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another factor, which some people might call \u201cconspiracy theory\u201d \u2013 but it has been proven time and time again in history \u2013 is that the money elites have a tendency to engineer economic disasters while deliberately hiding the real statistics from the public. Why? Well, if the real data was widely disseminated, then a crash would not be much of a surprise and the populace could be prepared for it. I suspect the elites hide the data because they WANT the crash to be a surprise. The bigger the shock, the bigger the psychological effect on the masses. This fear and confusion allows them to make changes in the power structure of a nation or of the entire world that they would not be able to accomplish otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
