The issue of Household debt will possibly become evident next year - ONLY if we start seeing a lower worker participation rate.

The BLS reports are B.S. The Covid/Fed. Reserve bank's largess needs to work through the system before we can make any quality judgements on any of the Fed. G'ment numbers.

IF the Fed. G'ment budget is not trimmed things will get ugly - just do not know how soon. It took Rome a very long time to get to the Vandals' sacking of Rome in 455

Great catch showing debt is endless and it’s all designed to bring the country down.There is no other rational explanation. We have the criminals in charge of the country. DJT can’t come back soon enough for me.
