The Myth of the U.S. Economic Soft Landing

Last week I wrote extensively about a variety of serious issues which could individually or collectively, create huge problems for the US.  I am not sure how I would rank these issues, as any of them could mutate into a crisis that our country needs to address in the relatively near future.  Collectively, the risks become almost overwhelming.  Whether I look at the ever-widening wealth gap between the mega-rich and the rest of the population, the massive national debt, or the cumulative crushing impact of years of inflation, the negative implications are highly concerning to say the least. These are only a few of the issues, and unfortunately, there are many, many more.
