5 Reasons Americans Are So Wrong About Major Economic Facts



"According to a new Bloomberg poll, six in ten Americans think most of the money spent to rescue banks will be lost forever. Six in ten think the economy shrunk over the past year. One in two think federal income taxes have gone up in the past two years.

Wrong. Wrong. And wrong.

In fact, most of the $245 billion TARP money spent on banks will be recovered, and the program expects to turn a small profit, according to the latest report (Treasury Sec. Tim Geithner: "The direct budget cost of the program and our full investment in the insurer AIG is likely to come in well under $50 billion.") The economy has been growing, steadily if slowly, since the summer of 2009. The Obama administration has cut taxes by more than $240 billion in the last two years, including rebate checks worth up to $800 for almost all families.

So why do two in three Americans not know this? Here are five potential culprits for American misconceptions about the economy:

1) Blame Democrats
Pollster Ann Selzer said: "The public view of the economy is at odds with the facts, and the blame has to go to the Democrats. It does not matter much if you make change, if you do not communicate change." This is a limited explanation. The idea that Democrats' communication determines the public's views on the economy assumes that everybody is sitting around listening to Democrats' press releases and speeches and sound bites. To be sure, some people are. But many Americans couldn't tell you the last time they listened meaningfully to a presidential address or gave a hoot about Harry Reid's views on Making Work Pay. It's important to communicate your achievements, but Democratic "messaging" alone isn't responsible for a nationwide 2-1 misconception of economic realities.

2) Blame the Conservatives
Public anger over the bank bailout, the rising deficit, and the apparent inability of government to turn around the economy created a power vacuum into which conservative anger rushed. The confluence of the Tea Parties, Fox News personalities, and Republican obstructionism has certainly contributed to the perception that government spending is out of control, that taxes are too damn high, and that the idea of America is caught in a downward spiral. It's reasonable to assume that a rabidly anti-bailout, anti-tax and anti-administration movement would sour Americans' negative feelings about, respectively, the bailout, taxes and the direction of the economy.

3) Blame the Media
The role of the media is to inform. So the media bears responsibility for this triumph of misinformation. But the problem with blaming "the media" is that "the media" isn't unified enough to blame. Some will ding Glenn Beck for comparing a tax-cutting administration to Nazi government takeover, and they will have a good case. Others can blame more conscientiously objective news outlets for failing to adequately communicate basic facts about the economy: Taxes were cut; the bank bailouts will turn a profit; the economy is growing. But at the same time, many news organization have done a good job of explaining those facts, over and over again.

4) Blame the Economy
Americans might be wrong, wrong, wrong, about the economy ... but does it really matter, considering how rotten the economy is? Economic production is still in a hole. Maybe effective tax rates have gone up on families who lost their home and their mortgage interest deduction. Maybe families lost a breadwinner and feel a harsher pinch from federal taxes. With one in six Americans broadly unemployed and home values crushed, perhaps it's silly to blame Americans for missing the statistical silver linings of a gloomy economy.

5) Blame People
Here's a simple culprit: us. The civic responsibility to know basic stuff about the economy ultimately falls on citizens. It might feel like the banks are still living with our tax money, or that taxes have increased or will soon, or that the economy hasn't grown in forever. But that doesn't make it right."

How Joseph Lents Dodged Foreclosure for Eight Years and Started a Movement

"In 2002, an accountant in Boca Raton, Florida, named Joseph Lents was accused of securities-law violations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Lents, who was chief executive officer of a now-defunct voice- recognition software company, had sold shares in the public company without filing the proper forms. Facing a little over $100,000 in fines and fees, and with his assets frozen by the SEC, Lents stopped making payments on his $1.5 million mortgage.

The loan servicer, Washington Mutual Inc., tried to foreclose on his home in 2003 but was never able to produce Lents’s promissory note, so the state circuit court for Palm Beach County dismissed the case. Next, the buyer of the loan, DLJ Mortgage Capital, stepped in with another foreclosure proceeding. DLJ claimed to have lost the promissory note in interoffice mail. Lents was dubious."

Want a 20% Raise? Work on Wall Street

"The government reported this week that the real wage and salary income of finance industry employees based in Manhattan rose nearly 20 percent in the first quarter of this year. That surge helped make Manhattan the fastest-growing county in the United States in terms of terms of year-over-year gains in income."

400 years of property law disregarded by banks RECENTLY

"The handling of that lost note in 2006 was hardly unusual. Mortgage documents of all sorts were treated in an almost lackadaisical way during the dizzying mortgage lending spree from 2005 through 2007, according to court documents, analysts and interviews."

A $75K bullet to take down a billion-dollar industry

"The judge hearing Ms. Bradbury’s foreclosure case was persuaded. He rejected GMAC’s request for a foreclosure without trial. Even when given the chance to file amended documents, the judge noted, GMAC still didn’t even include the actual street address of the Maine house.

Lawyers around the country are now looking at this case as a model for further litigation, writes Mr. Streitfield.

Don Saunders of the National Legal Aid and Defender Association tells the New York Times: “This ammunition will be front and center in thousands of foreclosure cases.”

FINRA Overpaid Managers

"The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority will review claims its management is overcompensated after the brokerage-industry regulator paid former Chief Executive Officer Mary Schapiro $3.26 million in 2008.

Finra’s board of governors will meet Feb. 10 to discuss a letter sent to the regulator from lawyers representing a member brokerage firm, Finra spokesman Herb Perone said yesterday.

The Dec. 4 letter, signed by Richard D. Greenfield and Jonathan W. Cuneo, called 2008 compensation “excessive” given Finra’s regulatory performance and a $568 million decline in the authority’s investment portfolio. The lawyers urged Washington- based Finra to recoup bonuses paid to managers including Schapiro, who left a year ago to become U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chairman. The letter was released yesterday."
