So What Is The Quality Of The Real Economy?

The numbers we are given about the economy are lies. Using Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), a former IMF economist calculated that China surpassed America’s GDP in 2010. Zero Hedge reported that Spain’s real GDP is 21% less than what their government officially claims. Peter Schiff has said America’s GDP is 3.3 trillion dollars less than our Banker Occupied Government (BOG ) in Washington has told us. PPP would take our GDP even lower than what Schiff claims. PPP discounts services like haircuts which are cheaper in China but cannot be exported to America.
