Dr. Jack Rasmus, professor of Economics and Politics at St. Mary's College in California, joins us to discuss the economy. There are signs of recession as US job offers continue to fall.

He says that statistics are actually a manipulation of raw data and the information regarding job openings is misleading. The coming commercial real estate crash has not been taken into consideration in these government statistics.
