isPermaLink="false">http://usa-wethepeople.com/?p=14112</guid> <description><![CDATA[Before 1994, anybody who was a discouraged worker, irrespective of the period of time, was counted as a discouraged worker. So that where you have the U3 unemployment rate at, I believe it’s 8.2% in March, the government’s broadest number U6 (which includes what I call the short term discouraged workers, those who have given up looking for work, but not for more than a year) and also includes people who work part-time for economic reasons (they can’t get a full-time job, they want a full-time job but you know, no full-time job is available) that’s running up somewhat over 14%.And what I do is I add to that my estimate of the longer term discouraged workers – those who have been discouraged more than a year. That puts you up over 22%.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://usa-wethepeople.com/2012/05/22-unemployment-rate-hyperinflation-by-2014/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <enclosure

GDP growth averaged 3.7% per year.  From 1879 to 1889 the CPI declined 4.2% and wages rose an astonishing 23%.  An increase in earning power for the average American of 27%!Imagine if in this decade the average purchasing power parity for the average American went from $48,100 to $61,000.  $13,000 more to save, spend, invest, for every man, woman, and child.  This is what the reality was for the average American under the gold standard and why the Democratic Party fought for decades for “hard money.”]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://usa-wethepeople.com/2012/05/why-a-gold-standard-is-good-for-the-people-and-bad-for-the-elites/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The Real State of the US Economy</title><link>http://usa-wethepeople.com/2012/04/the-real-state-of-the-us-economy/</link> <comments>http://usa-wethepeople.com/2012/04/the-real-state-of-the-us-economy/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 27 Apr 2012 02:15:22 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Economics9698</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Economics9698]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Real State of the US Economy]]></category><guid

The Public Service Commission exists to protect consumers from unnecessary rate hikes from utilities who enjoy a near monopoly. Insiders believe the reform was to neuter the power of the PSC who rejected rate hikes the previous year. ]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://usa-wethepeople.com/2012/04/florida-state-representative-precourt-sponsors-a-dream-bill-for-utility-monopolies/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Too Big to Fail Problem Getting Much Worse</title><link>http://usa-wethepeople.com/2012/04/too-big-to-fail-problem-getting-much-worse/</link> <comments>http://usa-wethepeople.com/2012/04/too-big-to-fail-problem-getting-much-worse/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:01:58 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Economics9698</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Economics9698]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Too Big to Fail Problem Getting Much Worse]]></category><guid

The eight firm concentration ratio is now in the moderately concentrated area of over 50% of the market share.  Instead of decentralizing the banking system in 2008 now there will be a continuous march towards centralization and oligopoly market structures.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://usa-wethepeople.com/2012/04/too-big-to-fail-problem-getting-much-worse/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Steve Precourt Supports the $1.2 Billion Sun Rail Project We Do Not Need</title><link>http://usa-wethepeople.com/2012/04/steve-precourt-supports-the-1-2-billion-sun-rail-project-we-do-not-need/</link> <comments>http://usa-wethepeople.com/2012/04/steve-precourt-supports-the-1-2-billion-sun-rail-project-we-do-not-need/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 12 Apr 2012 02:46:51 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Economics9698</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Economics9698]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Steve Precourt Supports the $1.2 Billion Sun Rail Project]]></category><guid

Light-rail lines are also under construction in at least two other regions, and in the planning stages in several more; and several other regions have opened or are planning commuter rail lines that use existing tracks.  Rail advocates claimed that rail transit would cost little to build and operate, attract people out of their automobiles, relieve congestion, and restore inner cities. Although most transit agencies that built these lines claim they are successful, an objective look at the evidence reveals that these benefits are just as mythical as the streetcar conspiracy.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://usa-wethepeople.com/2012/04/steve-precourt-supports-the-1-2-billion-sun-rail-project-we-do-not-need/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The Great Default by Gary North</title><link>http://usa-wethepeople.com/2012/04/the-great-default-by-gary-north/</link> <comments>http://usa-wethepeople.com/2012/04/the-great-default-by-gary-north/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 09 Apr 2012 12:06:48 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Economics9698</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Economics9698]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Great Default by Gary North]]></category><guid

isPermaLink="false">http://usa-wethepeople.com/?p=13695</guid> <description><![CDATA[Taking from the rich and giving it to the poor has been a dream of peasants for thousands of years.  It certainly makes sense on the surface.  President Obama has adopted this for his 2012 campaign strategy.  Let’s call it the Robin Hood election of the poor downtrodden president versus the slick banker.
The nonthinkers look at the wealth of the elites and think it was ripped off from the hard working people and they are justified in stealing it back.  In the case of the Federal Reserve and federal government they are correct, but they are too obtuse to understand economics and what is really going on and who the real thief’s are.
