It never ceases to amaze me that reasonable people think we can return to the boom years of the early 2000s. Do we not realize that the boom years were smoke and mirrors created by the financial and corporate institutions (banks, mortgage companies, Wall Street, major corporations, etc.) and were not a true reflection of righteous business? It was all a fabrication manipulated by the same entities for their own benefit and none other. It was built on myth, hopes and greed — not reality.
Consequently, we cannot return to it because it did not and does not exist in the real world. Wake up America, we are now coming back to earth so buck up and get used to it. Your house was never worth what they told you and your 401(k) was a fabrication along with all the other investments they controlled.
We are now living in reality so adjust and be more cautious.
