How is the economy "great" if most people struggle?
Post Body

I got a 30% wage raise during the last 5 years - after taxes. Right now I earn 20% more than average. Yet I had to use most of my savings to pay my bills. Since 2-3 years I am cutting spending and buying less and less to make ends meet.

This is NOT a good economy. This is NOT a healthy economy. We have the most homeless ever, the most working poor ever, the most credit card debt ever. Around like 80% of all Americans dont have 1000 Dollars in case of a financial emergency. House prices/rent/groceries/insurance etc are as expensive as never before.

The economy is NOT the stock market - its the people. If you create 100 Million new jobs - but people cant live from them - its worthless. So stop gaslighting, stop lying. The economy is doing horrible. Apart from the top 20% - the remaining 80% experience it every day.

Comments

I’ll get relentlessly downvoted for saying this, but by traditional metrics, the economy is strong. The folks talking about how bad it is are in for a rude awakening when the economy actually sucks.
