<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rhoggman, post: 406232, member: 13987&quot;]Many economists have argued that we have been in a recession for more than 2 quarters. Many economists would actually argue that the government has been cooking the books since 2001, and that we have been in a recession for over a year.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because real inflation is not measured by the FED, and only CPI is, the government misleads the consumer in to believing we are actually growing when we are in fact seeing the money supply growing.</p><p><br /></p><p>The US Dollar has lost almost 70% of it&#039;s value since 2001 (look at gold and silver), many companies continued to post record profits over and over again... this is coming to an end now. These profits are also misleading if he value of the dollar is not taken into account. A higher dollar number, does not mean a higher profit. It could actually mean a lower profit. But no one has real number to go off of for inflation....</p><p><br /></p><p>Why do we not have real numbers????? INVESTOR CONFIDENCE..... the whole system is based on the confidence of the consumer..... We may not have a totally free market, but if the consumer lost confidence the whole system would come crashing down.</p><p><br /></p><p>You would lose you confidence if you knew how much money (aka debt) is created yearly. Inflation is like a tamed monster that entombs your soul.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
