Well known Shadow Stats economist John Williams has warned time and again that the narrative being crafted by government statisticians, elite bankers and politicians is nothing but smoke and mirrors. With an election coming up in just a couple months, it’s highly unlikely that they’ll come out and tell us right now how fundamentally troubled our financial, economic and monetary systems really are.
But that doesn’t change the facts. The reality, as Williams notes in a recent interview with Greg Hunter’s USA Watchdog, is that the U. S. economy is in severe trouble and we may be just months away from the beginning of the next leg down, especially for the U. S. Dollar.
If we were to go back to the levels before the recession, we would need at least 11 million new jobs. That’s 11 million more than we have now. . . . We are in serious trouble here.

One of the best indicators is how people on Main Street, USA feel.
I found that those who live in the real world have a pretty good sense of what’s really going on.
If you don’t believe in the numbers coming out of the government, you’re probably right.
Over time… actual experience that trumps the romanticized numbers they’ve put together and we’re not seeing a recovery here. [We] haven’t had a recovery… the economy plunged into 2009… we had a financial panic… none of the issues have been resolved.
The economy has bottomed out. The banks are still in trouble. This is far from over.
