Experts also say "low unemployment" when actually we have an economy impacted by "basic income" type largesse that allows a significant percentage of our population to stay home while drawing multiple streams of government "help".
I see the "Expert's" as a group who will never publicize the reason America is in this predicament is because the Government printed and handed out way too much free money for the situation it was in. They have nothing to show for the Billions $ unaccounted for.
It is snowballing every day and they want to take credit for slowing inflation. Saving America from the Boogey Man they created.

The Hero Syndrome 2
INTRODUCTION
Hero, a word we all associate with accolades of praise upon an individual who has done a
selfless or exemplary act. A word defined by dictionary standards as: A person noted for feats
of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life. (The
American Heritage College Dictionary, Third Edition)
Syndrome, a word we usually associate with a negative connotation, almost as if it were a
contagious disease. A word defined by dictionary standards as: A group of symptoms that
collectively indicate or characterize a disease or another abnormal condition. A complex of
symptoms indicating the existence of an undesirable condition or quality. A distinctive or
characteristic pattern of behavior. (The American Heritage College Dictionary, Third Edition)
The pairing of these two words to describe a condition known in the main stream media as
“The Hero Syndrome” brings rise to a variety of pre-conceived notions as to the origins, facts,
myths, and ultimately, the reality of what this disorder encompasses. This paper will delve into
the history, current trends, investigative practices, (or lack thereof), and the detriment to the
law enforcement profession when occurrences of this nature come to light. I hope to also bring
stark awareness to law enforcement managers who “look the other way” and do not readily
and aggressively deal with this problem head on.
BACKGROUND
The so called Hero Syndrome is not actually a syndrome at all. Having not been duly
recognized by the American Academy of Psychiatry as a true mental disorder with definitive
research studies to back up the title of “syndrome,” then we are left with identifying this
disorder at its’ face value. Carl Gustav Jung, noted Swiss psychiatrist and founder of analytical
psychology, found that the phenomenon of fragmented identity can result in what he referred
to as “complexes.” (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2014) There are various categories of complexes,
with each being rooted in a particular archetype or more easily understood, a pattern
