  1. folks with $1 million or more saved in their 401(k) accounts jumped 20%

    422,000 retirement savers in Fidelity 401(k) plans sporting balances of seven figures

    391,562 IRA millionaires on Dec. 31, up from 338,725

    Just can’t possibly see a recession. If there is a recession it’s these people don’t want to spend their money. There are plenty of rich 401k boomers out there.

  3. The American consumer is kept alive by the fact that the US dollar is the world's reserve currency. Just look at the US trade deficit. At one point or another, the American consumer is forced to produce something that the citizens of other countries consume.

  4. The price of a home has inflated 2 or 3 times the real value, the price of gasoline, food, electricity, natural gas, water has doubled in some states triple, the price of a car, van or truck has doubled, the price of car-Insurance, health-insurance, home-insurance has double This is the way the B-administration takes money from the poor and gives it to the billionaire (BlackRock&GiPOwners), but you are too dumb to figure that out. The B-administration is using your credit card to finance 3 wars, every corrupt politician gets their piece of the pie, the money to make payments on the credit card, come out of your paycheck, that makes you a slave.

  5. You missed the one thing that is different this time……. $2 trillion deficit spending. This level of spending is beyond any level of spending that was done to bring us out of recession. But this time, it was done prior to it and has forced the FED to go higher for way longer. BTW, inflation is 8% and not 3%. Larry Summers did a study that revealed that when calculated by historical procedure, inflation is actually 8% right now!!!

  6. it's feb 29. a lot of things could happen in the next 10 months. using a headline of "could still see" indicates that a significant portion of the year is over. it isn't. this is nonsense.

  7. Sadly they are already feeling it unless your a shareholder or high level management. Pain is coming for all and I hope it’s a lesson to everyone so it doesn’t happen again
