The Forbidden "C" Word............................from Rico

Be grateful that Jimmuh Carter established the Dept of Education just-in-time so the present generation of politicians, journalists, and average Americans are unable to do basic math.

- Thanks be to 'gummint-run' skewls!

This helps us completely avoid using that 'forbidden' "C" word, which is never to be spoken by anyone...not even thought.

Let me explain:

The US economy is ~$15 trillion. The Obama regime and the Fed dilute the economy ~$1 trillion per year. [Numbers rounded for the math-challenged in Politics AND the MSM]

Divide one by fifteen.

This means to break-even annually, we need to see a growth rate of 6.7%.

So?

The 'official' reported GDP reflects +1.62% growth.

The 'real' unreported (except by ShadowStats) GDP reflects a <1.98%> decline.

ANY growth rate LESS than 6.7% is.....drumroll:

- An economic CONTRACTION. The "C" word writ large.

[For Obamunists and recent public school graduates, this is NOT a "recovery"].
