The premise that this article is attacking seems weird. Did anyone (except maybe other link-baiting journalists) believe that the Twitter IPO was a valid positive indicator that the US economy was improving at a macro level?
Spot on. Trying to think of any meaningful article or program I've seen lately that described the American economy as somehow well on its feet with much of its trouble behind it. Perhaps this article plays well with international audiences who see the Twitter headlines and draw assumptions. Even that seems unlikely. Certainly though in the US there's not a lot of back patting going on but rather a keen awareness of the serious problems. It's just in the proposed solutions that all the trouble begins.
