The Dog is disenfranchised with so many things lately. Spending, economy, jobs, education, housing, etc. I feel like I (we) were sold a bill of goods.
It's not for lack of personal optimism (macro optimism is another story). I just feel the things valued, conventional wisdom, and the common model was (is) flawed.
Won't get fooled again.
