The Sad State Of Consumer Income
This is a very useful article by Steve Hansen, detailing ongoing reality in ways that even Jane and & Joe Sixpack should comprehend.
In short, we're crash dummies being run into a wall of orthodoxy.
Public statistics are looking a bit grim.
Yet if you look more closely .... it's much worse!
And if you look EVEN closer ... it's far worse than that!!
(How many are already afraid to look closer?)
What can be done? Private prison industries? Divert Aggregate Demand to .... Aggregate Remand? We can't afford to exercise fiat ... unless that initiative is directed at constraining the untrained initiative of under-educated, under-trained, under-employed citizens? ?? Let me TRY to get my head around this.
Most ... of .. our ... initiative ... is .... spent ... by ... dwindling numbers of Central Planners (the 0.1%) ... on .... bizarre endeavors driven by twisted thinking?
Why, now that I've dragged it out of myself, that's the only statement that's made sense all year!!!

1) If we don't completely re-evaluate how we do functional public education in the USA, what will happen to our descendants?
2) And even if we re-invent K-12 education, will even that matter .... if we don't find a way to gracefully re-invent all of our currently failing governance institutions?
Besides currency operations, how many things which we learned in the 1930s - or since - have we simply not bothered to tell enough of us? Will we start communicating stuff that matters more often? Will we listen? Or are we all closet OldneoCons, hiding emerging reality from ourselves ... and our kids - to no avail?
