I agree completely with your comments and observations. The "economy" no longer includes people, just the companies listed on the stockmarket, and those making money buying and selling those stocks. Those of us that can't afford to play the game see our paychecks buying less and less each month, and to further the illusion, the government does not include fuel and food costs in the consumer price index (CPI) and in inflation figures in the hopes that we will buy the lies and not realize that we going a little further down the rabbit hole each month. A shift must, and will take place, but sadly I'm afraid, we ain't seen the worst of it yet. Timethief, yes they are sad stories, and all too common.
