Is America Really Past Her Prime?
The price of oil is skyrocketing. The housing market has collapsed—and so has the dollar. Every day brings a new story about how America’s economy is about to sink—how the future belongs to the emerging economies of China and India. But guess what? America isn’t on the brink of collapse. In fact, if anything, America’s economy is poised for a resurgent future. If you thought the media were only telling you half the story, you were right. In their provocative new book, Reality Check: The Unreported Good News about America, authors Dennis Keegan and David West redress the media balance. In Reality Check you’ll learn the facts the liberal media don’t want you know. Did you know, for instance, that:
- since 2001 the U.S. economy’s increase has been larger than the entire economy of China
- the federal deficit is lower now, as a percentage of the Gross Domestic Product, than it was during the 1990s, 1980s, and 1970s
- the real villain in high gas prices is taxes
- personal income has risen by 12.1 percent over the last seven years
and that’s just scratching the surface. If you want to know the real state of the Union, Reality Check is essential reading.
