I notice that the stock market has been a “sure thing” for the past 15 years because the government has always come to the rescue to keep everything propped up in times of uncertainty (2008, COVID, etc.).
Everyone tells you to “invest” because “markets go up”. “Don’t ask any questions. Just put your money in. ”
And that sounds good on paper. Why let your society suffer when you can magically bail everyone out, right?
But the govt is 35 trillion in debt. There is no money for all these bailouts. Future generations will get crippled with high inflation if we keep going down this road.
Everyone’s 401k and pensions depend on this.
Is this sustainable forever??? Thoughts?
