Good luck with acquiring a clear view of our economic future. It is shrouded and cloaked under an ocean of often irrelevant facts and figures. Somewhere between what we are told is occurring in the economy and what we see happening on Main Streets across America is the real and true authentic economy. It is ironic that every sign the economy is not getting better only reinforces the idea that the Fed needs to goose things and pour even more fuel on the fire. This is exactly what many of us oppose and consider pure insanity.<\/p><\/div>\n

A false economy of fraud is created by seizing on a few positive numbers that can be spun and hyped to convince people all is well.<\/b>\u00a0<\/i>Even as I’m writing this, a MarketWatch article just came out saying the U.S. stock-index futures were trading higher after a report on June retail sales came in stronger than expected.

Those behind increased and continued easing say more action is needed or a loop will develop that feeds on itself and ends in a deflationary depression.<\/div>\n

Most of us are familiar with former President Bill Clinton’s infamous line; \u201cIt\u00a0depends on<\/b>\u00a0what the meaning of\u00a0the<\/b>\u00a0word \u2018is\u2019 is.\u201d<\/div>\n
