I'd like to point out that 2019 was a very good year for the economy. It worked well the first time, so why not again?
In some cases, it's actually worse: I've had to listen to some people complain about price increases, citing artificially low prices deep in the heart of the COVID lockdowns as if they were the benchmark for a great days' past economy they wish we could return to.

In brief: It worked very badly the first time and the only reason you were conned into thinking differently was massive debt.
