The US economy grew at a 5.9 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2009. That sounds good until you realize GDP figures are badly distorted by structural changes in the economy. For example, part of the increase is due to rising health care costs. When WellPoint ratchets up premiums, that enlarges the GDP. But you’d have to be out of your mind to consider this evidence of a recovery.

Matt Taibbi has written another piece, Wall Street's Bail Out Hustle. It contains strong Populist language, has some errors additionally, but the main message, nothing has changed as well as risk is subsidized, profits are privatized is lovely. You'll like it.

Just because everyone says it's so, doesn't mean it is....a premise amplified in the The Crisis Won't Get Moving. From the impending European Crisis to similar observations made here in this post on residential real estate, things are not all over as one is led to believe in the Financial Crisis. Oh yeah, what was that about Financial reforms and effective action?

In reference to this WaPo Bio on Neel Kashkari, the London Times pulls out some nice little tidbits. The $700 Billion number to ask Congress for, later known as TARP, was literally made out of thin air. They had no idea in reality how much money they needed.

A new research piece, by Asha G. Bangalore, Northern TrustGlobal Economic Research, states that just to maintain the current unemployment rate, the United States must create between 86,600 and 140,000 jobs per month. It's due to the average and then a slightly below average labor force growth rate of the last 20 years. So next time you see someone cheering that the U.S. only lost 11,000 jobs this month, consider these numbers. Also next time you see someone saying the United States should ignore immigration factors in the current labor market situation....think of these numbers.
