All Trick, No Treat

We can talk about terrorism or the Middle East crisis. We can talk about our military readiness or lack of it. We can talk about Obama’s sinking presidency or our country’s plunging morality or maybe Hillary Clinton’s latest scandals. But the other gorilla in the closet, the ugly witch slowly knocking at the door, the hideous monster following you while you’re walking home at night…is our nation’s economy. If the government is good at anything, it’s lying. We are NOT in a recovery. The unemployment rate is NOT down. Our economy is NOT growing to any significant degree. Yet, almost no one in Washington wants to talk about it or when they do, they are in denial. We can’t see it because, unlike the thirties of the past century, it is purposely being hidden. There are no bread lines or soup kitchens because people are getting welfare, food stamps, section eight housing, free cell phones, disability checks, free health care, you name it.
