The US government borrowed and spent $6.1T over the past four years to obtain a cumulative $700 billion rise in the country's Gross domestic product. That means we've borrowed and spent $8.70 for every $1 of nominal "growth" in GDP. In constant dollars, GDP is flat, we have no "growth" at all for the $6.1 trillion. In constant dollars, the GDP in 2011 might get back to the 2007 level, if the US economy continues "growing" at the same pace reached inside the first ninety days of 2011. If not, then the Gross Domestic Product will actually be lower than before recession levels. There is no economic recovery, the facts prove it.

Their website is https://46twwww.eglin.af.mil/pex. If you need some training, that's the place to be. Be advised: they're the only ones that do the training, and the classes might have a waiting list. If you need other info, let me know. Maybe I can track it down for you. Tony Chris:

I vote deflation. We've just seen the biggest inflation of our lifetimes, and the correction is consuming our phantom money supply for years to come. We should ask a Japanese suburban apartment owner who bought around '90 to chime in and tell us the score, but, of course, we wouldn't listen, because, this time, it's different. that’s the question, inflation or deflation, right?
