Things Are Much Better Now

It's been a while since I had any desire to update the blog. What more is there to say? The propaganda machine was so close to convincing the masses that things were better, then last week the stock market drops 10% in 3 minutes and Europe had to come up with a trillion dollar bailout to keep the world from ending.
I did think it would be appropriate to make note that in January I commented that there were 37 million Americans on food stamps. Great news, the USDA now says that as of February there were 39.68 million Americans on food stamps.
The U.S. Treasury also announced this week that the budget deficit in April was a record for the month of April at $83 billion. Individual Income tax collection was down 21.5% year over year. Yes, 21.5% from April of 2009. What a fantastic economic recovery we are experiencing.
