Also, they seem to expect people to go out and spend with income now at a 30 hour work week level and with healthcare expenses that have doubled or tripled.

The country is being dismantled on purpose.
If the Fed raises rates, they have to spend more on the debt so they’ll have to print more money so they have more money to spend on the debt while less money comes in from taxpayers.
My guess is they’ll try another QE if things start falling. What else could they do? Well, there’s negative interest rates. Oh yeah, that will get it going.
