Że nie ma żadnego ożywienia, o czym stale słyszymy od propagandzistów, widać po wpływach podatkowych w Stanach.
Month to date tax receipts are now in for the entire month of December. They’re down 7.7% from December 2008, which is exactly the same rate of decline as November’s. We know that the TBAC and Treasury officials were not anticipating that in their debt sales forecast for the first quarter. They had assumed that a recovery was taking root and would continue to do so.
But I thought that we were in the midst of a strong economic recovery? So say all the pundits, all the Tout TV folks, everyone...
So how come I can't find it in the sales tax receipts of the states, and I also can't find it in the Federal tax receipts?
Doesn't recovery mean more spending, some hiring, or at least people getting more hours even if they don't have new jobs?
If this is all happening, as we're being told incessantly on ToutTV, shouldn't tax receipts be going up?
Remember, last December was pretty much the bottom, or so the pundits have told us. We keep hearing that sales are improving, durable goods are improving, employers aren't firing any more (and indeed many people are looking for a positive employment number for December and a positive revision to +ve for November) - and yet none of that makes any sense - especially employment turning to an actual positive number - if Treasury tax receipts are actually down on a y/o/y basis from last December.
