The recession never ended.
The government lied, and along with the controlled mainstream corporate news, kept repeating the word “Recovery”…trying to force you to believe that there was an actual recovery. The Fed pumped up the stock market to make it look like a recovery, but there has been NOT much job growth at all.
Why has the American economy been suffering, since the Vietnam war in the 1970’s.
The answer is simple WAR and rampant government corruption. Someone in the American government loves war, and has been in constant warfare since the 1970’s, wasting trillions of taxpayers dollars making the U.S.A broke (Read up on collapse of Roman Empire).
As of today the U.S government has a federal debt of 18 trillion dollars, so much debt that they have no other way to pay it back.
Found this short documentary on YouTube, as the economy in the United States have declined severely.
The 2007-2008 financial crisis caused by Wall Street has caused the longest depression in history, although the government control media tells you it is just a recession (bunch of liars).
This depression has not ended and we are now in 2016, just ask some of your friends and family, I am sure they know people who have not recovered from the bad economy.
