Good question:
So what happens when the stimulus is over and the Fed begins to tighten again? Where will demand come from to get Main Street back, create jobs, raise middle class wages? Not from big businesses. Certainly not from Wall Street. Not from exports. Not from government.So, where? That question is the big unknown hanging over the U.S. economy. Until there’s an answer, an economic "recovery" for anyone other than big corporations, Wall Street, and the wealthy is a mirage.
Any way to get our government to spend a little less than it takes in? I see no sustainable recovery until our politicians follow the same rules as most of the rest us have to.
