A lot of this stems from incredibly flawed economic metrics that are used to drive policy decisions. The stock market and gdp growth are only tangentially related to the well-being of the populace, especially in the lower economic rungs.

Yeah GDP is a garbage metric, and recent rises in stock, bond, and real estate value is what Michael Hudson calls “asset price inflation”.
