In this clip from The Macro Show today, Keith McCullough compares the current U.S. economic setup to the Great Financial Crisis.
“I don’t know if I’ve said this enough times: This is not 2008—not even remotely close. 2008 was a story about Wall Street leverage, bad behavior, frauds. This one is far more dangerous.
This one is about Main Street. It’s about 50%, going on 60% and 70% of Americans not having any money left and needing government handouts increasingly to offset that pressure. Needing more credit cards, more leverage.
If you’re paying 22% on a credit card, think about where you must be financially. Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL)? This is far more dangerous for far more people. This is a Main Street recession that we’re just entering.
I don’t know how that’s going to end. I just know that Wall Street all agreeing to agree that this is going to be some soft and beautiful landing because of 10 stocks is dead wrong.”
