This is the most hyped economic growth since the Annunanki began using humans to mine gold on Earth 50,000 years ago. The historic Obama Boom created a net of ZERO jobs in the month of August! Once again this bad data was called unexpected by the media. For the last couple of weeks, they had resurrected the Obama Boom theme since not much bad data was coming out. One such report was telling workers to quit their jobs because the job market was great! Reality is a different matter all together.

The economy added no jobs in July. Unemployment stayed constant at 9.1 percent only because so many adults are too discouraged to look for work.

Retail, manufacturing, information services, and construction all lost jobs indicating the fragile recovery is faltering. Finance posted small gains.

Government employment fell by 17,000, and private sector jobs added 17,000.

[…]

Government subsidized private employment in social services and health care gained 36,000 jobs; otherwise, the private sector contracted.

The only reason the unemployment rate stayed at 9.1% is because people stopped looking for work or no longer collect unemployment. This is keeping the real unemployment artificially low. The truth is the Obama Boom is a media lie to cover up the Obama Depression.

On a related note, Dr. Doom Nouriel Roubini says our economic situation today is worse than in 2008!

The world’s developed economies are trapped at the “stall speed” of low growth and need to have greater fiscal stimulus and less austerity to kick-start growth, leading economist Nouriel Roubini told CNBC Friday.

Speaking at the Ambrosetti Forum on the shores of Lake Como, near Milan, Roubini said in an interview: “We are in a worse situation than we were in 2008. This time around we have fiscal austerity and banks that are being cautious.”

I don’t agree with his call for more stimulus, since debt is what caused this recession. But Tax and regulatory reform can stimulate the economy and capture more revenue. One thing he’s right about, we are staring at an economic abyss.

The greatest economic recovery since the colonization of Earth by the Pleiadeans 150,000 years ago is coming to a halt. About a year ago, Dr. Doom: Nouriel Roubini, who in 2005 predicted the economic collapse of 2007-2008 made a bold prediction. He claims that the Obama Boom was fragile and weak. Roubini also predicted that the US would fall back into recession due to unsustainable Debt. Recent data is showing that once again, Dr. Doom appears to be correct!

Influential economist Nouriel Roubini has warned hopes that the recent slowdown was temporary have been dashed and predicted the US and other advanced economies will have a second “severe recession  ”.

Writing in Monday’s Financial Times, the founder of Roubini Global Economics said: “America’s recent data have been lousy: there has been little job creation, weak growth and flat consumption and manufacturing production. Housing remains depressed. Consumer, business and investor confidence has been falling, and will now fall further.”

[…]

“Since this is a crisis of solvency as well as liquidity, orderly debt restructuring must begin,” said Roubini.

Two years ago the Obama Boom was declared. Media financial writers like Daniel Gross claimed this would be the greatest economy ever. The media kept pushing the Obama Boom theme to create false confidence. It appears their efforts couldn’t change the reality. Debt was what got us into this crisis, incurring more debt would not get us out.  Dr. Doom warned everyone a year ago about the weakness of the Obama Boom, and the media dismissed and attacked him. Now reality will kill the Obama Boom lie and it us that will suffer!
