ALEXANDRIA, Virginia (PNN) - April 8, 2020 – The Fascist Police States of Amerika is dramatically unprepared for the economic shutdown we’re currently facing as the nation grapples with coronavirus, and one recent survey illustrates just how serious the problem is.

When the Society for Human Research Management surveyed Amerikan workers from March 12 to 16, it found that 60% of respondents would not be able to meet their basic financial needs if we had a month or less of quarantine.

A warning sign to the nation.

LOS ANGELES, Kalifornia (PNN) - July 25, 2018 - Southern Kalifornia home sales hit the brakes in June, falling to the lowest reading for the month in four years. Sales of both new and existing houses and condominiums dropped 11.8% year over year, as prices shot up to a record high, according to CoreLogic. The report covers Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Orange counties.

NEW YORK (PNN) - May 9, 2018 - After the party, the hangover.

Total consumer credit rose 5.1% in the first quarter, compared to a year earlier, or by $184 billion, to $3.824 trillion (not seasonally adjusted), according to the Federal Reserve. This includes credit-card debt, auto loans, and student loans, but not mortgage-related debt. That 5.1% year-over-year increase isn’t setting any records - in 2011, year-over-year increases ran over 11%. But it does show that Amerikans are dealing with the economy and their joys and woes the Amerikan way: by piling on debt faster than the overall economy is growing.
