It shows us the huge extent to which consumer spending is falling, how much poorer people have become as stock markets set records.

The only reason the stock market is soaring is because the Fed keeps pumping worthless dollars in to the economy.

Those dollars having nowhere else to go are driving up the price (not value) of stock.
