a comprehensive economic outlook, not good, weakening

"THE REVENGE OF REALITY"
gold-eagle.com

warning signals:
- money supply growth slowing
- bigbank lending slowing down
- declining yield spread between shorterm TBills and TBonds
- declining income/consumption ratio
- declining equipment/consumer goods production
- rising consumer debt/GDP ratio
- rising mortgage debt/GDP ratio

conclusion: a big economic slowdown is coming

MY CONCLUSION: ECONOMIC ANALYSIS IN MAINSTREAM PRESS/MEDIA IS DOWNRIGHT EFFING LOUSY & PATHETIC
really somewhere between shallow and compromised

funny how Shostak doesnt even find "reduced inventory" as even worth mentioning !!!
it is that unimportant in this debt collapse environment
