It shows about 500,000 people gaining 25 trillion in wealth and 175 million people losing wealth because of a debt economy. It has substantially raised the poverty threshold in America. But the cost of that is a very unhealthy long term outlay. We are lifting people out of poverty through debt not through gaining actual wealth. Every time the economy takes a downturn the bottom rung default on that debt, the feds step in to clean it up, and the top rung get showered in money for shits and giggles. It is not a sustainable cycle, especially with the massive federal debt. At some point the fed won't be able to step in anymore and we become Greece and Spain.
