    So, you think the spending levels of the Fed are sustainable?

    As long as there’s someone to buy treasury bonds to finance the debt, sure. I have zero faith that anyone in government will ever do anything to reign in spending.

    All this winning is getting old. Time go go back to slow growth and higher unemployment. The press is flummoxed about how to avoid reporting it. ;-)

    From that article

    Even the relatively solid gains aren’t enough to keep up with slightly higher inflation, which rose 2.9 percent in the 12 months ending in June. That means after inflation, wages and salaries for private sector workers was flat.

    Well the AP couldn’t give a win a win. Inflation at 2.9% is low and the Fed has raised rates. Love to see this economy with the 0% Fed Fund Rate Obama experienced...

    Good lord, read what you post. This economy is not working for most. If you can’t see it than ok, actually look and do you research, if you won’t see I can’t help you.

    Because it’s been killing it for over the last decade?!? It’s finally normalizing (full employment w/rising interest rates). If you can’t see this, stop posting....
