5. Since when has the consumer been normal.
I'm glad people bought homes but the means to get there was unsustainable. Easy credit produced by all this home equity in turn made it easy for rampant inflation in every sector of society. Look at rents per square foot compared to a decade ago. Look at electric rates. Govenmental policies are as much to blame as easy credit.
