That is true. However, if the economy continues to falter and more people become unemployed, then 4.5 or 6., it will still hamper consumer spending when they try to live on unemployment. That brings up another issue. Congress has extended unemployment far more than ever in the past. How long will that continue and what effect will that have on the economy once they stop the chronic extensions? I think this recovery is contrived, but I would prefer to be wrong about this. I think a full blown depression will be very damaging to the country. This generation is not as resilient as the one who went through the previous depression.
