It's whether prosperity can be engineered, not whether profits are soaring. I like death ears, too. I can tell you looking at a chart of M1 makes me want to be an American. Sure do love how much it exponentially beats every market strategist and why Wall Street does not talk about its uneasy relationship with Main Street, because not only are they both corrupt, but their definitions of profit are not the same. That Wall Street makes loans with illegally printed fiat currency from Main Street keeps every market watcher and commentator and CNBC news anchor happy as they watch the market rise, with little profits that do not keep up with every average American's personal inflation rate.
