Keith Quincy describes the real economy using the formulas for Washington's economic statistics before the formulas were rigged by Reagan, Clinton, and George W. Bush. Using the honest formulas of the 1970s, the real median wage in 2008 was one-third of what it was in 1973. This is why families needed two wage earners, plus record borrowing, to maintain their standard of living. The economy is now in a depression and unemployment is almost 22 percent. Worse Than You Think also reveals that Washington has raised workers' taxes (income and payroll) until they are now the highest among advanced economies.

It was suicidal for America to open its markets to cheap imports but that has been the policy of every president since Truman. The object was political, not economic.
