Unemployment is almost totally non-existent..

But underemployment is up. The booming economy depends on where you are on the income scale. Some like you, fint, are very well off. I doubt if you frequently socialize with those who are not as fortunate. As for medical insurance? Kinda difficult to afford $8,000 a year for family coverage when your income is $30 k or so. And they CHOOSE this style of life? How self serving...

And, if you have spent your time in the military, no wonder you do not have to worry about health insurance..

And the tax cuts? I like having the extra money, sure..But I do not like the amount of interest being paid out every year because of the massive borrowing...I would rather pay a bit more now than a lot more later. Also, investigate the effect on local taxes as federal matching funds dry up. It is a zero-sum game.

Wealth is fleeting..if the market takes a dump, the number of those with the large increases will diminish

Sometimes your posts are interesting, well thought out and logical. This ain't one of those. Nothing in the economy is that clear cut.
