Four Shocking Bombshells Bernanke Did NOT Tell Congress About Last Week

www.moneyandmarkets.com...

In his testimony before Congress last week, Ben Bernanke lifted the Fed’s skirt and gave us a glimpse of the disasters now sweeping through the U.S. economy.

But there are four bombshells he did NOT talk about:

FIRST and foremost, what’s CAUSING the economy to sink? The stock market has not yet crashed. Interest rates have not yet surged. Gasoline prices have not skyrocketed. There has been no recent debt collapse, market shock, or terrorist attack.

This SHOULD come as no suprise as we all know the "Gubermint" has "fudged" almost every relevant statistic since the fall of 2008...

I especially like the take on the discouraged worker numbers that magically disappear at 366 days...

Did anyone see the Dallas Fed report today? worse than expected...

Undoubtedly, the most timely indications of recession risk are based on composites of multiple indicators, which is one of the reasons I've focused recent comments on the ECRI Weekly Leading Index (WLI). Last week, the growth rate of that index slipped again, to -10.5%, which we've never observed outside of actual or oncoming recessions, though the ECRI notes that there are two unpublished data points in the early post-war years that weren't associated with recessions.

He's just another crook and liar. Why should we believe a word he says?

That's why I added a couple other relevant links...to kinda support his view...

I'm assuming he (the author) has a agenda being a stock market shill, but, the other indicators (ECRI) are a tried and time proven indicator that the road ahead is rocky to say the least...

No one even cared about this thread...

Maybe it was a dupe. Or maybe it just doesn't matter.

Maybe so...I think they keep us confused on purpose to be totally frank.

WOW...that sucks...

Guess we've all been desensitized to the point where our Ipad/Ipod recall news is more important...sorry, but, I gave you S&F just now

It appears to me the FED & Treasury aren't on the same page...another reason to follow this even more closely IMHO...

Here's a release on a recent ECRI reading...
