Here are some statistics that are about as useful to me as the foreclosure comparisons, draw your own conclusions.
I’m sorry that I don’t have time to provide additional data for you to determine trends.
99.999% of people who died in the last 12 months were breathing before they died.
100% of people who turned 21 in the last year, were 20 on their previous birthday.
98% of people who died in the last 6 months either ate carrots, bananas or watched TV in the 30 days preceding their death.

The complacency about the economy and faith in ‘the recovery’ is a severe case of hypostatization.
It was only a mild case around 2006 when virtually everybody though that their house was really worth what it was selling for.
I will give the govt credit for creating the illusion that the economy has improved, we have turned a corner, and are well on the road to ‘recovery’ (WTH that means)
Most people are either brainwashed or delusional, complete ignorant and unaware of the risks ahead that someday cannot be avoided.
The current administration is doing an outstanding job of kicking the can down the road.
This has nothing to with the party, the previous administration was just as inept.
Commitments and unfunded liabilities have possibly never been greater. The cost to perpetuate this illusion has been many trillions of dollars, and is far from over.
There are far greater problems ahead for many than they faced in the past, regardless of the ‘trends’ being reported today.
Eventually the problems will cease to exist, however, eventually we will all be dead.
