"Our entire economic paradigm is built upon desperate measures
While retailers have added billions of square feet since 1989, real median net worth is lower.
Retailers are attempting to get blood from a stone.
The stone is in debt, approaching retirement with no savings and dead broke.
The 2008 collapse was caused by the easy money bubble machine at the Federal Reserve. We had the opportunity to hit the reset button, implement rational economic and monetary policies, take our lumps, and make the banking culprits pay for their crimes. Instead, the easily manipulated masses believed the Wall Street storyline and allowed the Federal Reserve and feckless politicians to save the banking cabal with extreme money printing and debt creation. This has pushed the middle class closer to the breaking point, while further enriching the oligarchs. The Federal Reserve saved their owners and lured the masses further into debt.
The Fed, Wall Street, and Washington DC have successfully driven consumer debt to an all-time high...
Our entire economic paradigm is built upon desperate measures. Zero interest rates, trillions of QE, systematic accounting fraud, fudged economic data, and doling out subprime loans to auto renters and University of Phoenix wannabes have failed to revive our moribund economy.
