Not really; there isn't the irrational exuberance that the dot com, housing, or bitcoin bubbles had. There aren't stories about people getting rich quick, new normals, etc.

You're onto something here. There's definitely been an increase in government spending. The other thing going on is that there was a lot of quantitative easing following 2000 and 2008. There's another word for everything going up: inflation. Maybe that's what we're seeing, but government inflation metrics are missing it for some reason.
