Troubling Economic Indicators

I don't want to be a chicken little, but there are a few economic indicators which should be very concerning to everyone.

Interest on the debt is greater than our military budget. This has signaled the end of every empire in world history.

Unemployment recently ticked up .3% above its cyclical average. This has preceded the last 12 recessions and as an indicator of recessions it has only been wrong once.

The S&P 500 has gone 377 days without a selloff of 2.05% or more, which is the longest period since the Great Financial Crisis of 2008.
