Following the Crash of ’08, when the mainstream propaganda machine was desperately trying to “put a happy face” on the collapse of the U.S. economy, a ridiculous two-part economic myth was first spawned, and then regurgitated millions of times by media talking-heads: ordinary Americans were “saving money” and “de-leveraging” (or voluntarily paying down debt). Neither half of this myth has the slightest foundation in reality.

To date, I and every other economic commentator have failed dismally in our efforts to communicate the insane manner in which all Western economies have been mismanaged (and effectively bankrupted).

Spending as much time as I do writing about the Land of Fraud, I never thought I would see myself using the phrase “maximum fraud” to describe any U.S. market.
