Likewise with your informative comments.
I agree with your comment that the US middle classes have been decimated by the crisis.It is exactly the same that has been happening in Greece.
Staying with the US the majority of U.S. state and local governments are barely keeping body and soul together; releasing convicts from prison, laying off police, firefighters and emergency personnel, even selling off state buildings just to avoid financial disaster.
It's also well known the US government has been manipulating statistics and markets in order to present an improvement in its economy.We have a situation in which the dollar has been depreciated by more 15% then inflation stays at less than 3%.Unemployment rates remain at around 9% which includes only the people that receive entitlements.Independent financial analysts estimate inflation rates at present of 11% and unemployment rates in excess of 21%.The bond market is also manipulated.Since China has reduced its bond buying some new mysterious buyers have appeared from Cayman Islands spending $billions on unwanted US treasury bonds.Many suspect those buyers are proxy for the US Fed.
With the European crisis coming to a head with Greece defaulting and possibly taking the rest of the PIGS with them US and UK will be next.
