And why could they sell the need for that $188M? Because even ceilings were leaking rain water. Claiming the Vet was falling apart was one reason why the city bought new stadiums for those sport teams.

If the economy is doing so well, then why did the Fed do three rate cuts? We are starting to see the results of his tax cuts. And serious reductions in exports due to his 'let's screws our counter-parties' tariffs and canceled trade deals.

When does a downturn appear as job losses? The stock market crashed in 1929. When were the jobs lost? 1933. Jobs are a lagging indicator. Jobs are lost long after a recession has really started. Leading indicators of a serious downturn have appeared. Which is expected. Tax cuts traditionally have resulted in recessionary economics many years later.

Because bubbles don't matter, I'd presume.

Bubbles do matter to the many still living in a Lawrence Welk era.
