For the past few weeks reports on the Global Economy, regardless the source, shows the present economic conditions and future economic conditions are best in the United States. Almost every phase of the U.S. economy is working better than the Global Economy. Europe's economy is almost at a standstill and some are talking about another recession there.
Future job growth in the U.S. is projected to stay strong and unemployment applications are at the lowest level in years. The predictions now say median income will also start to rise because economic indicators point to a strong recovery. This writer predicted in an earlier commentary that would start to happen as the country nears full employment. U.S. manufacturing remains steady and so is job creation in that industry.
So why are the people fed so much negativity about the U.S. economy and the President's performance on the economy? Does any one want to go back to 2008? I think not. The news media and too many people in congress seem to have an appetite for failure and not economic success. If one listens carefully you can hear comments that even project decline in America's leadership abroad.
Yet, the U.S. still leads the world in every thing that counts. Our men and women in uniform perform well in all parts of the globe to assist humanity in so many different ways to better life abroad. Foreign nations still look to the U.S. for leadership and help and it was the comback of the American economy after the collapse in 2008 that kept the Global Economy out of another recession.
America's bright star still shines with greastness for those who have vision and are willing to look beyond the petty whims of ones self. Yes, American leadership is still in vogue. It just can not be seen by those with a closed or jealous mind.
