& '98 lows were ~2000 Dow points higher than "irrational exuberance" levels. Problem is, most folks are still way down even with higher indexes. I've read psych studies that say that's the worst kind of depression, when they have to go on and on (~5 years since irrational exuberance?) thinking it's just them. They'd never know otherwise watching CNBC or referring to pleasing gov't statistics & infinitely recalculated CPI excluding inflated items, or the almost total lack of interest paid for a decade of savings (luckily there's been no inflation <ng>), and the infinite minimum payment scheme on a gracious offering of credit card & mortgage debt (up to 120% of one's inflated home). Allowing the media to lead their cause, recent gov't has allowed big brother/big business to wage a financial and psychological attack against its citizens as a reward for moving from a single 40 hour per week wage earner to dual earners with a preferable 60 hour work week. Now we've lost another generation of kids who didn't have a parent at home for their most impressionable years. Accidental?
