Our Phony Economy

I do not consider myself to be very knowledgeable when it comes to understanding high principles of business such as the economy.  Outside of some basic classes that I took in college, much of my understanding is remedial.  Since the term "economy" has been used so much in the news lately, I found this article (thanks to my friend Greg) to be very helpful.    Here is one quote from the article that really struck me.  "How did it happen that the nation’s economic hero is a terminal-cancer patient going through a costly divorce?"  If this doesn’t make sense I would encourage you to read this article as it gives a basis for understanding what is going on in the economy.
