10/08/09 Stockholm, Sweden – There tends to be some sort of consensus in the mainstream media that we’re potentially experiencing a real economic recovery. As you well know, The Daily Reckoning vigorously disagrees.
One significant reason, among many, is the lack of consumer spending. It makes up about 70% of economic activity in the US.
If you ever feel cajoled into spending your hard-earning savings to prop up the American economy, resist!
