In the linked article from the New York Times, it's noted that energy bills are doubling and tripling this year, such that Americans are going to have to cut back on some of their basics, like heat, in the upcoming winter.
Then the article refers to an "expanding economy" and some experts seem to place the blame on "inefficient consumers."
It's like there's only one version of "economic crisis" or "economic depression" and someone's got this secret math equation for it. If the number of the equation doesn't say 5% or something like that, the entire media is clammed up.
In the meantime, the rest of Americans are dealing with a 40% uninsured rate, gas prices at over three dollars a gallon, wages that are not competing with inflation...you know what? Why bother. You know this. The only people missing it are the press and the President.
