    I think that most people that think the economy is bad are in a bad situation themselves or are just parroting what they’ve heard on tv. By almost every economic metric the us economy is in good shape. Other than inflation but I don’t think any president is going to fix that in one term

      So basically here you admit that although the economy is in a good shape, lots of people are still struggling. So I have to ask; why should anyone who can’t make ends meet give a shit how strong the economy is?

        but you see, people struggling is just the price of having a great economy where the stock market reaches new heights each and every day

            Besides, having more desperate people willing to be exploit is good for the economy. I don’t even see what the problem here is.
