Well, I take it to mean that everyone agrees with every single point made in the article! 😉

I really think we all just have a bit of getting used to on this new forum.

I would have expected at least a few of the regulars to have posted by now. I guess change makes people reticent. I suppose it will take a bit of time.

Kevin Phillips writes the following in a 2008 piece, “… a fundamental mismanagement of the U.S. economy rests on a framework of what can bluntly be described as lies, damn lies and statistics.”

Lies, Damn Lies and Government Inflation Statistics- https://www.huffingtonpost.com/kevin-phillips/lies-damn-lies-and-govern_b_113277.html

I suppose to those that think the highest good is a growing economy, a little statistical chicanery is a small price to pay to get Joe Sixpack to both buy stuff he might not otherwise, and possibly get his vote in the bargain. Win-win! as they like to say.

Yes, can’t tell you when the avatars/profiles will start working though.

First of all, there is no such thing as a ‘productive’ industrial economy or sector. All industrial sectors are REductive.

The finance economy is the REAL economy.
