Talking Head #1: "Up 3.3%. That is a huge jump!"

Talking Head #2 "We really are in a much better place than anybody had expected."

Talking Head #3 "Talk about that GDP number. What does it mean? What should we take away from it?"

Talking Bimbo: "Absolutely. So what it is we found out today is that the US economy is growing at an even faster rate than was originally estimated in the 3rd quarter."

Talking Head #4: "The numbers don't lie. Because the US economy is in way better shape than just about anyone predicted a year or two ago."

Talking Head #5: "A huge increase from one quarter to the next and that's really what's driving this. It's really all of us going out and spending our money."

Talking Head #6: "A report shows that GDP was significantly stronger than many experts had anticipated. So what's driving this growth? Strong consumer spending."

Are these reporters delusional? Or are they paid to spew this nonsense?

Real people, living real lives, know what's going on. They know they're struggling week-to-week to make ends meet. They know their credit cards are maxed, sometimes just buying the basics, like food.

Just follow the money.
