Trash Talk

The blue line is carloads of trash, the red line is the Gross Domestic Product. Both are measured per quarter and you get that chart.
It kind of makes sense, the more people consume (and thus produce to meet demand), the more trash is generated. Look at the end line. Either something very unusual is happening, or we're not getting, shall we say, the whole picture from the Obama administration. Either way, if history is any guide, we're in for a real problem this quarter - which ends in September. -- Word Around the Net: WIERD INDICATORS
