Well, the Fed, Treasury, and the Congress are working overtime to make sure it stays that way - the game falls apart if the rubes figure out what's going on. All this cash flying around is to preserve the illusion of normalcy, and it's working pretty well - notice how many FReepers (who ought to know better) are popping up with anecdotal evidence about how well the restaurant at the local mall is doing, therefore the economy is fine and this talk is all a Soros/Obama plot to steal the election.
Spot on. You make my point. Thank you.
