With all of the news reports judging everything about the economy by what happens in the 24 hours leading up to it, can anyone point me to the numbers for the US?
Particularly, I'm looking for current information and trends in:
Capital [income levels/growth/loss]
Investment [Savings rates/%'s/How much people have lost during this financial meltdown/rates of r&d]
GDP figures [Growth/Loss of the economy as a whole and hopefully breakdowns into more specific industries]
Debt [Costs of Iraq and Afghanistan wars, how much debt the US is in, how much of the debt is owed to the rest of the world/China]
Employment [gains/losses by sectors, education levels, maybe offshore employment numbers]
I know I have read plenty of these articles scattered throughout the forums, I have seen many of them, some more credible than others, but I am hoping to start a more analytical thread that doesn't turn into a flame-war by 'partisan hacks'.
