Americans, today, have it pretty good.

A Goldilocks Economy
A Goldilocks Economy
Mortgage rates falling: recent home buyers can re-finance and use their new house as an ATM.
Jobs everywhere. Unemployment rate about 1%. Lots of folks taking advantage of this by holding two jobs.
Initial unemployment claims: from 191,000 to 195,000.
Unions back in vogue. See recent Michigan story. Right to work.
Eggs at Target back to what they were two years ago.
GDP: holding.
Taylor Swift tickets at $1,000. Not my idea of a recession.
Those who are skittish of/about the stock market can invest in bonds and get a 5% return and no risk now that the US government will backstop even the worst-run banks.
Those who don't like guaranteed 5% yields can easily get 7%+ yields in the stock market, with hardly much more risk.
US not directly involved in any war.
US with so much energy, natural gas is going for less than $2.00. Now, Henry Hub with a $1-handle; if the news gets any better, we'll see natgas with a $0-handle. LOL.
