When you put 80 percent of your workforce on government assistance, you devastate your economy.

America's economy is NOT healthy. Transnational corporations push up the DOW, and their success depends on their foreign investments, not investment in the US economy. As for the unemployment rate, its ludicrous to trust the numbers of a government that says there's no inflation, while the cost of energy, food, housing, college tuition, you name it has multiplied astronomically in the past 20 years.

" Transnational corporations push up the DOW,"

Nuts much?
