Where did you get the idea the "economy was doing well before the last quarter"?? The "economy" was in one bad state and sinking dramatically and this is evidenced by the billions removed out of the US and dramatic reductions flowing inwards. It sure ain't by "design" that the US $ has dropped in value!

To say the economy last quarter, "did extremely well" is just one of these "facts" that seem to percolate as some "reassurance", but simply don't stand up alongside all the other facts in that quarter. However, that "fact" is absolutely correct on it's own! :-)

It will take *years* to get back to some balance... if it does not get worse before it gets better.

I gotta go and do some work and maintain my economy!
