Hopium is the hidden drug when uncertainty rears it's ugly head. People hope that what goes round doesn't come around. And reality carries on regardless. One reality is that the American economy in growth is shaped like a K. Those at the top have enough to say, "Crisis? What crisis?" And the ones at the bottom can smell the smoke as their hopes get crisp in the heat. Economics by walking about - actually looking hard at the realities around you - will tell you more about the real state of your economy. Add that to any economists' analysis - which is an overview anyway - and you'll know what's happening. The fact that consumer confidence is still tanking, and unemployment is set to rise, that more workers are falling out of the unemployment stats than are finding new jobs, and that hiring is in ice, is Economist talk for "buckle up boys, it's going to be a bumpy ride for those needing jobs to get by" is a red flag. But it's not the same economy for those who live off the value of assets. The asset rich got a severe pinch last, but hell, there's nearly 5 years to go yet. Them getting pinched, when there's little value outside tech, means there's only Hopium between the reality of those who need a job, and those that don't.
