Inflation will erode the illusory gains in the economy but after the Messiah’s re-election (Hope N. Change!). Eventually, up will rise interest rates, down will go the stock market, and good luck to retirees and their 401k / pensions!

Regime does not count all those (millions) who have fallen off benefits but are still unemployed; Regime does not count all those (millions) who lost livlihoods but could not file, e.g., small business owners or independent contractors like myself; and Regime does not count all the new people hitting the job mkt every month…and finding nothing. Real unemployment # is now 25% and has been for some time. Among certain key labor sectors – say, males between 18 and 24 -unemployment is more like 50%. Sounds like Greece? It should. And once the dollar collapses (IranWar oil spike) this’ll seem like prosperity.
