Fed up with professional economists and talking points pundits -- we all.

They seem determined to downplay the negatives and -- the economic picture and friendly bright colors.

So here's my take on the view from the other side.

The view from the ground -- he is how you see the economy nothing academics -- all the professionals -- you here's -- you -- it.

It's pretty -- By launch majority you -- think we -- heading into -- recession.

The hill is a middle of the road publication it's poll -- three out of four think back way.

The professionals.

Stick to a rigid definition of recession the economy must contract you don't care about definitions no you don't.

You just know things think -- His another ugly number 87 point nine million.

That is the number of adults not in the world -- us an all time high.

Up seven point four million from president Obama's first month in office that number represents your reaction to the grim economy.

You have taken -- over time until Social Security disability you dropped out you've gotten discouraged you on not count it.

Not blaming anybody.

I'm not saying economists all wrong we'll -- -- -- distorting the truth far from -- but I am saying that when you are asked to what's going on you have a strong opinion and you up passing a very negative judgment on the state of our economy.

In fact I believe our leaders should be listening to you.

But he says.

And I think that if these economists and these political pundits are gonna stick to the rigid definition of a recession and look at the mere numbers.

We should also look then at the fact that unemployment is still higher than it was four years ago gas prices are still higher than they were four years ago and -- not a jobs being created as the lesson was -- reality is grim.
