The economy: Why the recession is worse than you think

As the UK officially entered recession, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt was keen to talk up the country's economic prospects, insisting things are looking up with inflation coming down.
But is he right to be so positive?
GDP per head - a better measure of living standards - suggest the economy might be in a weaker position than official figures show.

[@carolpaige2]

This recession is most likely the result of an external factor. For the first time in decades, the United States is losing its clout as a federal reserve currency. They don't have any more economies to use to control inflation, and less money is being spent on stock and oil trading than in the past. They all lend support to the idea that a new multilateral world order is in the works.

It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making.

The United Kingdoms national debt is now close to becoming unsustainable debt status and approximately one third of said debt is indexed linked, largely due to the irresponsibility and incompetence of the officials of the bank of England. This country is dangerously close to economic, fiscal and monetary collapse and anyone relying on state assistance, support and or services which includes many are likely to find the present and the future will be so very different from the past particularly as the UK is currently spending approximately thirteen percent of annual gross domestic product on the interest alone.

The reason our recession is worse than it appears is because the majority of the economy has been in a huge recession for a while now. For the past two years, the financial sector has been the only reason why the UK economy was still 'good', at least on paper. But that's it. Just paper. Only a tiny minority of people actually work in the financial sector so no one actually feels this.
