Economy in Crisis: America's Economic Report - Daily
Economy In Crisis, INC. is a non-profit corporation dedicated to educating legislators and the American public on the destruction of our country's industrial base, the impact this has on national and economic security, and how it effects our standard of living.

We compare what led to American industrial and economic world leadership with current policies and the present crippling of our industries. We then objectively extrapolate the near-term outlook and risks for our country, businesses and individuals. When possible we offer solutions to our weakening economic condition.
Out of concern for America's deteriorating economic condition, those responsible for EconomyInCrisis.org donate their expertise and time. Economy In Crisis does not support any political organization or corporate interest.
