Moody’s economist Mark Zandi estimates that 22 states plus the District of Columbia are now experiencing persistent economic weakness and job losses that are likely to continue. Another 13 states are treading water, he noted. www.marketwatch.com/story/are-we...

Are we in a recession? Yes — if you live in one of these 22 states.

The U.S. economy is very close to falling into a damaging contraction — and many states are already in a recession, according to Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics.

Global Debt BUBBLE is massive:

The US has $38.3 trillion in government debt, accounting for ~33% of global debt.

China and Japan follow with $18.7 trillion and $9.8 trillion, meaning the top 3 countries now hold 60% of the world’s total.

Financial system is broken.

It’s important to remember that the president cannot rewrite the constitution by memo. Here's what the directive actually does and doesn't do.
