Here in Illinois by me, not so much. <br /><br />There are booms near the fed money taps while far away from the fed money taps things have clawed their way back up to levels that are called recessions.

Any recovery we have had is not due to "Federal Reserve money manipulations." It is in spite of these manipulations and due to the free market that still remains in the U.S. And while policies under Obama have resulted in thousands of deaths directly (and Brian Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10188778202762603278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-16496025516371330872016-04-28T12:35:56.863-04:002016-04-28T12:35:56.863-04:00Incidentally, this is the same justification emplo...Incidentally, this is the same justification employed by the worst tyrants of history.
