(NaturalNews) As the new year rolls in, the mainstream media seems to be saying now that 2008 is over, things will automatically get better for the economy. "Good bye 2008!" say the headlines. And "Hello New Year!"

The trouble is, in Washington D.C. there have been no decisions made whatsoever that could reasonably be expected to produce a better result this year. Let me review where we are right now as 2009 rolls in:

• The health care system in America remains a complete disaster, costing the nation over 20 percent of its GDP in disease treatment costs while investing zero dollars in real disease prevention. The government health regulators are crooks, the health industry is run by for-profit corporations, the doctors are nutritionally illiterate, the medical journals are run by Big Pharma interests and now even the Nobel Prize Foundation is influenced by drug companies.

Meanwhile, the free speech rights of health supplement companies continue to be illegally censored by the FDA, leaving consumes in a state of nutritional illiteracy and forcing them to resort to the use of dangerous medications to treat symptoms (rather than using safe nutritional supplements that actually prevent disease).

From a health perspective, there is no evidence whatsoever to support the notion that 2009 will be better than 2008. In fact, all the evidence points to a continued worsening of public health as long as Big Pharma runs the medical agenda.

• On the financial front, the picture is even worse: Not only was there absolutely nothing done in 2008 that would make the financial picture in 2009 look better, most of the financial decisions made in 2008 have primed the pump to make 2009 look even worse!

Case in point: Instead of letting incompetent companies and financial institutions fail so that stupid decision makers could be removed from the economic gene pool, the Federal Reserve actually conspired with the U.S. Treasury to counterfeit trillions of dollars in new debt and deliver it directly into the hands of the most incompetent people they could find!

They called it a bail out, but in reality it was an organized looting of the public's salaries and savings by a bunch of Washington crooks. And it won't rescue anything: Since when did rewarding incompetent people with more cash ever result in smarter economic decisions being made?

If anything, 2009 is going to be even worse than 2008 in terms of real economic effects on the nation. And in addition to all the new jobless, the new wave of homeless and the ever-expanding numbers of the clueless, we are now facing the looming threat of currency inflation that will kick in once the economic plunge hits bottom and levels off.

The bottom line? On both health and wealth issues, the American people are being screwed, as usual. It's not just the American people, of course: The Brits are also being screwed by their own government, which is about the same as being screwed by the American government but with a lot more surveillance cameras.

Is there any good news?
