Tapsearch Com EditorSilent Depression is still called a Recession

Bizarre Politics Reports:
They keep calling it a recession but it has been a silent depression for many for years
President Obama, President Bush and President Clinton all in one Free Trade Party
Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans exposed a silent depression in our land in 2005 and it apparently was around for a long time before that. The silent depression represents millions missing in action from any kind of real reporting with New Orleans as an example. The unemployment reporting is fiction compared to the reporting years ago. Someone making only a $100 a month in our time is reported as employed and no one provides the breakdown of where 60 percent of our workers are working with only about 40 percent of all workers in the USA qualifying for unemployment insurance. There are many things like this that are kept silent in the silent depression.
We really have only one poliical party in the USA and it should be called the Free Trade Party. This party came about automatically when both major parties in the U.S. locked hands in the passing and promotion of Free Trade. We had Rush Limbaugh and President Clinton acting like partners in the promotion of Free Trade in the passing of both NAFTA and GATT. Even Glen Beck who is supposed to be the champion of the people today is silent about this crucial issue where both major parties act as one. Others at FOX News are the same in their obvious omission of Free Trade and the Trade Deficit as being the major cause of our economic crisis. The new Tea Parties seem to not understand these problems either. No one says much about all the jobs that were shipped outside of the USA as the cause of our economic crisis. Only workers with jobs can pay the toll for government services.
The only ones I know who talk about the failures of Free Trade and Globallization are Congressional Representatives Marcy Kaptur and Dennis Kucinich of Ohio. There are many others who do but I never hear or see them on any national network news programs.
A giant Trade Deficit exploded but it is kept separate from all the Gross National Product reporting since it is all about someone else in the world producing the goods we once made in the USA. All recent presidents have ignored it as part of our economy. They have economist who play with numbers and statistics and who even tell us that the Trade Deficit is a good thing as our jobs evaporate.
No one asks why drugs remain the main crop in many countries around the world. Regular farming and other business ventures are impossible due to giant Trans-national corporations being subsidized by governments. No one asks about the foreign auto companies and their competing using government's subsidies to capture markets .
And no one seems to want to talk about the main commodity being traded today. Workers have been "commoditized" and are put on a world block to compete with one another for the same job down to wage slave and even child labor. This is a silent issue in the silent depression around the world. Nothing good is going to happen anywhere until all the realities mentioned above are discussed. It remains an untold story in the news. You would think by now the stock market would react to it knowing it can not be kept out of the mix. However, in our economies there are just masks behind masks hiding the real terror of our times. As one mask is pulled off another one appears.
