    There is no good news out there!

    No Good News!

    There is no good news out there, folks. If it isn't outright bad news, it's news that is "not as bad as analysts expected," which the lunatics running the asylum tell us is another way of saying "good news." Check out the following list of economic indicators, taken from the current issue of The McAlvaney Intelligence Advisor, and tell us whether or not you think any of these rate as "good news" for the United States Economy.

ECONOMIC INDICATORS ARE STILL PLUNGING:

---

    All statistics confirm that the economy plunged off a cliff in 2008 and the first quarter of 2009:

• U.S. FACTORY ORDERS ARE DROPPING AT A 12% ANNUALIZED RATE (down eight months in a row). Total industrial production is dropping at a 16% rate -- a post-World War II record. From the 2007 peak through April, industrial production is down a Great Depression-like 16%.

• RAILROAD FREIGHT SHIPMENTS (i.e. CARLOAD VOLUMES) ARE DOWN 22% versus a year earlier (a strong measure of declining business.)

• TRUCKING TONNAGE PLUNGED 4.5% IN MARCH, and is dropping at a 12.2% year-over-year rate -- the biggest decline since World War II.

• REAL (INFLATION-ADJUSTED) GDP FELL 6.1% in the first quarter of 2009 and over 6% for six straight months. John Williams' Shadow Government Statistics more accurately calculates the first quarter drop at over 8%.

• RETAIL SALES PLUNGED AT AN ANNUALIZED 10.1% RATE IN APRIL, the sharpest decline since World War II (except for the Christmas month of December 2008, which was down 10.6%. (December is supposed to be the best month for retailing.) Retail sales for all of 2009 are down by 9%.

• THE BALTIC DRY INDEX (WHICH MEASURES OCEAN FREIGHT CONTAINERIZED SHIPPING) IS DOWN 77.4% OVER THE PAST YEAR (May '08 to May '09). The big port of Long Beach, California reported its shipping business in March was down 32% from a year earlier.

• THE ROLLING 12 MONTH FEDERAL DEFICIT IS $1.3 TRILLION -- with total federal debt up $1.9 trillion (the real deficit) over the past 12 months. The 2009 FY deficit is projected to be $1.84 trillion, but in the real world is likely to be half again higher.

• TAX REVENUES WERE DOWN IN APRIL BY 34% FROM A YEAR EARLIER -- THE BIGGEST ONE-YEAR DROP SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION -- and the first April (tax month) deficit in 25 years. This will prompt liberal cries for higher taxes to soak the "rich" (i.e. actually the U.S. productive middle class, who earn $200,00 or more per family.)

• CONSUMER CREDIT IS COLLAPSING -- In the third quarter of 2007, banks issued $44 billion in net new loans on credit cards and other consumer credit (excluding mortgages). A year later (third quarter of 2008), this new credit had collapsed to $8.7 billion -- a decline of 80%!
  In the fourth quarter of 2008, new credit disappeared and lenders pulled out of the consumer credit market (i.e. reduced loan totals) by $19.5 billion. In the first quarter of 2009, total consumer credit contracted by another $12.2 billion. It is the biggest collapse in consumer credit ever recorded!

• CREDIT CARD LOSSES (DEFAULTS) ARE EXPLODING AT AN 8.5% ANNUALIZED RATE. MasterCard's profits just fell 18%, while the 19 largest banks (according to regulators) are bracing for $82.4 billion in credit card losses through 2010. If unemployment continues to rise, that number could more than double.

• U.S. HOUSING STARTS DOWN 77.6% -- Three quarters of America's largest single industry has been wiped out. Housing starts peaked in 2006 at 2.3 million units and are today barely over a half million. The housing industry (America's largest) is not recovering -- it is in a state of collapse!

• AUTO SALES ARE DOWN 44% -- At their peak in February 2007, U.S. and foreign-owned car manufacturers sold 16.6 million units. By April 2009, those sales plunged to 9.3 million -- a decline of 44% (including the best performers like Toyota and Honda). Chrysler has just gone bankrupt, and GMAC (the nation's largest auto loan lender) and General Motors are in their death throes.

• CONSUMER WEALTH IS PLUNGING -- Robert Altman, who worked for President Clinton, says that U.S. consumer wealth is down by 20% -- from $64 trillion to $52 trillion. Steve Schwartzman, head of one of the largest private equity funds (Blackstone Group) believes the number is closer to a 45% contraction in new worth.

• TEN PERCENT OF THE U.S. POPULATION IS NOW RECEIVING FOOD STAMPS.

• DIVIDENDS ON STOCKS ARE BEING CUT SHARPLY AS EARNINGS PLUNGE -- GE has cut its dividend by 68%; others, like J.P. Morgan Chase, have cut their dividends by more than 80%. Thousands of such dividend cuts are coming, and will cut into the already dwindling incomes of millions of investors and retirees.

• SMALL BUSINESSES ARE CUTTING EXPANSION PLANS or new projects due to the recession and the fear of giant new tax increases and increased regulations and controls on business.

• HOME PRICES HAVE DROPPED 18.6% ACROSS THE COUNTRY THIS YEAR -- with the residential real estate collapse (which has extinguished over $4 trillion in wealth, with no end in sight) now spreading to commercial real estate.
