To understand our economy, you must understand:
1. The Golden Rule of Economics: "A growing economy requires a growing supply of money."
2. The Fundamental Truth of Economics: "All money is debt."
Once you fully understand the implications of these two simple concepts, you'll be ahead of most media experts and lay people, and on your way to a most exciting discovery.
Rodger Malcolm Mitchell, MBA is a "turnaround specialist," who saves troubled companies. He looks at each company with fresh eyes. He ignores corporate common knowledge. He finds the realities of each company's situation. He's learned: When the obvious answers don't work, the real answers will be counterintuitive.

An interesting, counter-intuitive pattern: Every recession in U.S. history was preceeded by a series of years in which federal debt rose less than it did in the corresponding month of the previous year. Each recession ended when federal debt began to rise faster than it had in the corresponding month of the previous year.
This is related to the following pattern:
1817-1821:
U. S. Federal Debt reduced 29%. Depression began 1819.
1823-1836:
U. S. Federal Debt reduced 99%. Depression began 1837.
1852-1857:
U. S. Federal Debt reduced 59%. Depression began 1857.
1867-1873: U. S. Federal Debt reduced 27%. Depression began 1873.
1880-1893:
U. S. Federal Debt reduced 57%. Depression began 1893.
1920-1930:
U. S. Federal Debt reduced 36%. Depression began 1929.
1998-2001: U. S. Federal Debt reduced 9%. Recession began 2001
