Hard Press

Below are a few things that you will be hard pressed to find the press reporting on.  I’ll leave it up to you as to decide why.

• Gasoline is hovering around $3.00/gallon.   A couple years back this was causing outrage and conspiracy theories were abound.
• Unemployment is hovering in the upper 9% range.   A couple years back 6-7 percent was big time news.
• Large companies are sitting on greater cash stockpiles since the great recession than they did before it hit.  A couple years back, everybody wanted all big-time CEOs strung up from the rafters.
• The war is still going on in Iraq.  A couple years back this war was addressed on a daily basis and called things like “another Viet Nam” or “quagmire.”
