it seems, in any economic news is related to the word, "whose"?

We are supposed to assume a position, (oh, that one comes later) were the implied "we" is something like a rising tide that raises all boats. Actually, the rats have very nice, luxury life rafts and float around as the ship sinks. But it is all about "we", huh?

If you buy into much of the "good news" that suggests a recovery, remember the scam of trickle-down economics and how long that big joke sailed before we started to notice it was full of holes.

Trickle-down economic news seems to work the same way. There is a recovery, but you have to be in the right situation to really notice the effects and benefits. Just look into who has recovered and how much. Following the money is always revealing.
