After every recession, the ability of the US economy to recover gets weaker and weaker. If the Federal Reserve resorts to negative interest rates, that will be a definite mile marker on the path to permanent stagnation.

Watch the velocity of money stats. If it tanks, we are in for a world of hurt.
