You are quite welcome.
The thing I found most encouraging about the report is that which is found in the very first table where they list the specific indexes, their changes from November to December, the direction of the change (positive or negative) and whether or not the rate of change was slowing down or speeding up. Overall not only are those indexes showing improvement, but the RATE of improvement is growing FASTER - indicating the pace of recovery is SPEEDING UP.

Subsidized "Free Trade" Is Not Free Trade by Ralph R. Reiland -- Capitalism Magazine

Even a magazine dedicated to capitalism disagrees with you.
