http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/don-t-believe-these-five-myths-about-the-american-economy--joel-kurtzman-181728603.html
 
 
I bring this to your attention because of WHO the author is:  (NOT because of the article itself....)
He is with the Milken Institute.
THEY are BIG Economic advisors to who?  The Democrats  !!  Obama!!!
 
And exactly WHO is Mr Milken of the Milken Institute????  
 
You gotta LOVE this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Mike Miliken created JUNK BONDS in the early 1990's....and eventually WENT TO JAIL for a few years for the ILLEGAL STUFF he did to create that market.  And when he got OUT, he was "forbidden for life" to work WITHIN the investment Industry.
 
Hmmmmm.....so WHAT DID HE DO INSTEAD????   lol....  You gotta live this....
 
He created the "Milken Institute" to "ADVISE" people and parties....(ie, the Democrats) about "investment related stuff" AND make guesses on future economic things.......  ie" to help people making government policies understand the potential impact on the future economic scenarios of those policies"
 
Can you say SPIN DOCTOR  ??!! 
 
(I saw Mikey was working for and advising the Democrats about 1-2 years ago....and I almost choked on my laughter!!!!!!!!) 
 
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW  !!
 
and, in a related article:  http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/deficit-explainer-160632760.html
 
Titled:  Something’s going right in Washington! Why there will be less fighting over the deficit this year  (REALLY???????) 
 
GET THIS QUOTE:   
Well, a funny thing has happened since then. The deficit has been falling. The U.S. Treasury department reported the budget deficit was $680 billion in the 2013 fiscal year (ending September 30) -- the first sub-trillion dollar deficit since 2008. And the Congressional Budget office projects it will fall even further in 2014 and 2015, to $514 billion and $478 billion respectively.
 
My comment:  YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!    
 
Is this BRAGING about the fact that the deficit, for the first time in 6 years!!!!  ........is UNDER $1,000,000,000,0000....that's ONE TRILLION.......
 
.......UNDER $1 Trillion......"only" $680,000,000,000...that's $680 BILLION........."and will fall even further" to "only" $514 Billion and $478 Billion over the next 2 years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Ya know........that's ANOTHER $1 TRILLION over 2 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
DON'T THESE WRITERS UNDERSTAND BASIC........MATH!!!!??????????????
 
I'm sorry....but between:
1) Articles like THIS
2) people like Milken "helping" the Democrats...and
 
lest anyone forget......
 
3) Hillary WILL WIN the Democratic role for President in just over TWO YEARS..............................

If I weren't laughing so hard about these 2 articles.....  I'd BE CRYING!!!
