Cette citation du magazine Time résume très bien la situation. Même si elle est longue, lisez-la attentivement. Je vous la présente d’abord en anglais et ensuite en français (ma traduction) :
«The US economy remains almost comatose. The slump already ranks as the longest period of sustained weakness since the Depression. The economy is staggering under many "structural" burdens, as opposed to familiar "cyclical" problems. The structural faults represent once-in-a-lifetime dislocations that will take years to work out. Among them: the job drought; the debt hangover; the banking collapse; the real estate depression; the health care cost explosion and the runaway federal deficit. »
Réfléchissez bien à cette citation et je vous reviens avec le «punch»….
LE PUNCH
Assez niaisé:voici où je veux en venir.
En lisant cela, la majorité d'entre vous avez probablement pensé, comme Sergi, qu'il s'agissait d'une bonne description du climat actuel.
Peut-être, mais n'oubliez pas ce détail important : cette citation est tirée du Time, édition de septembre 1992!!!

Depression?
What is important to know is this. In that initial four-year economic downturn, from 1929 to 1933, there were no fewer than six – six! – quarterly bounces in the GDP data. The average gain in these up-quarters was 8 per cent at an annual rate! But because they proved not to be sustainable, the National Bureau of Economic Research refused to declare that the recession officially ended, even though the stock market rallied 50 per cent in the opening months of 1930 on the belief that the downturn was about to end. False premise.
