to all of these pundits (in the rump admin.), then why is this happening? Why aren't there more homes being constructed if the economy is so strong that homes are disappearing off the shelves so fast? Why aren't people putting up their homes up for sale faster? Why aren't homes being built faster?

Is it because of the economy is truly for the most of us, uncertain, thus we don't put our homes for sale as fast? Is it because a huge tier of the economy is suffering and fighting constantly increasing prices (the majority of us), for such things as high college loans, cars, goods, groceries, etc.?

It's seems like a disjointed economy is here and only a few of us are enjoying the fruits of the booming economy/stock market. The stock market is at its highest in a while, but this hasn't translated into anything tangible or real for the vast majority of us. rump harps about this crap all of the time but this is only a tiny sliver of the whole picture. Why did the Feds slam the brakes on increasing the fed rate? Is it that they truly saw a downturn in the economy coming, despite the record stock market? Isn't that pathetic, that we had record breaking stock market indices, yet no one is celebrating in the streets, that you don't see people flashing money in the streets or see more signs of this so called prosperity...perhaps its all a lie?
