By that measure, cases of the flu are also probably significantly underreported, for the same reasons, which pushes it's mortality rates down. 

And that cost will add on to already sky high housing costs in a lot of areas. 

Yeah, driving up prices for regular folks while wages have been effectively stagnant for 4 decades will definitely help things. 

The SS was so much of a sleeper it couldn't keep folks awake long enough to buy it.
