Michael Snyder: "There are highly qualified [unemployed] people that can’t even get an interview even though they are sending out hundreds and hundreds of resumes. What are they doing wrong? They aren’t doing anything wrong. The employment market is far tighter than we are being led to believe, and that isn’t going to change any time soon."
"The elite are trying to do their best to convince us that everything is just fine, but meanwhile the Conference Board’s index of leading economic indicators has now

"Right now, there are only 6.5 million U.S. adults that are officially considered to be “unemployed”.
"But another 99.9 million U.S. adults are considered to be “not in the labor force”. So they don’t count as being “unemployed”. When you add those two numbers together, you get a grand total of 106.4 million U.S. adults that do not have a job right now."
At no point during the economic crisis of 2008 and 2009 did that number get anywhere close to that.

If inflation was measured the way that it was back in 1980, the official rate of inflation would be well into double digit territory. If honest numbers were being used for unemployment, the official rate would be about 25 percent right now.

We're not being asked by the administration. How many young men will have to die? How many young men are we willing to sacrifice?
How much debt will our surviving children need to cover in years to come? Forbes is keeping track of those fiscal numbers. Within days of the assaults on Iran, the costs were staggering: $300 million for three F-15E jets downed by “friendly” fire. $630 million to transport troops, ships and aircraft to the region in advance of the attacks. More than 50,000 troops deployed to the region. $13 million a day just for two aircraft carriers stationed nearby. $43.8 million for 1,250 Kamikaze drones. $2 million each for Tomahawk missiles. $12.8 million each for anti-ballistic missile interceptors.
Forbes estimates that Trump’s military strikes in Iran have already cost American taxpayers over $1 billion, “with a price tag that could approach $100 billion, depending on how long it can stretch on.” The total economic cost of the conflict “could ...
