Reply #16: some serious flaws in logic in this alternate universe.

First Grandma didn't have personal account and so ate cat food to extend here life to the ripe old age of 63. Uncle Iggy's boy Chuck is locked in the closet 8 hours a day because there is no SSI for the disabled, and Iggy can't afford the day care Chuck needs(he was born with serious disabilities).
The Stock market in this alternate reality grows at a faster rate(6.5) then the economy as a whole(1.8%). This Of course this can and does happen from time to time we called it the stock market bubble that last time it happened. Stocks are already vastly overpriced at 20/1 price to earnings and are not likely to return 6.5% anytime soon.
