Instead of pondering “what went wrong”, we should be pondering what’s about to go wrong. We are at near depression level unemployment (if you count the people who are working age and able but unemployed), yet the stock market is a record highs.

This is probably not an indication of a healthy economy.

Well said. Total ignoring by both parties plus the Tax party. Democrats main aims are abortion and gas marriage, the GOP pushes for free trade and those on Cruz control dwell on Obamacare. Our problem is our own people yet we dabble in costly wars and nation building while exporting our jobs and factory economy to the world and look for ways to cut more from American citizens.

I agree, and nor should it be, the very least deviation from their comfort zone and they, collectively, will react like chickens when a Fox has entered their coup.

That’s correct. It is not an indication of a healthy economy. The stock market is up due to the devalued dollar(ie inflation).

It takes more dollars to buy the same amount of stock, because the dollar is not worth as much as it was. Helicopter Ben keeps printing money to try to keep the market up.
