so, that fraudulent number grew mostly due to "government-related expenditures and personal consumption". in other words, what increased was WASTE and EATING OF THE SEED CORN.
i'd say it's nothing short of a disaster...even though the stock market temporarily doesn't seem to think so.
the data however confirms that the fiscal and monetary insanity that currently reigns produces exactly the predicted effects: the economy continues to be hollowed out structurally, while the debt mountain grows and grows.
the handful of analysts that fears we might see a surprise MCHV illiquidity event in the fall may well be right...the market won't be conned forever.
note that the truly massive pump priming courtesy of the economic illitarates at the Fed has recently gone into unprecedented overdrive:

at the same time, the ongoing fiscal catastrophe is speeding up...iow, the morons in charge of 'economic policy' are doing their best to ensure an economic disaster of epic proportions.

watch that contract...it could soon break out to new life-of-contract highs. needless to say, if that happens, it would be a further nail in the alleged recovery's coffin.
while i'm not entirely sure what is happening in this market, i know OPEC production as well as non-OPEC production continues to decline, while inventories continue to languish close to 30 year lows, and demand ( egged on by China ) keeps growing at its LT average. best of all: NOBODY is watching this market, or worrying about it.
tbat makes me think a double top is unlikely...there's an energy crisis simmering right under our collective noses.
