Are they just insane? Why do the American People overwhelmingly think the economy is doing poorly?

94. Absolutely. A lot of people are really struggling financially now. When someone is living paycheck

to paycheck, the economy is bad for them.

Things have been very tight in my family. We have to eat a lot of pasta, rice, and ramen noodles. The only meat we buy now is chicken thighs, pork roasts on sale, and an occasional pack of ground beef. Our primary fruit is bananas. Fresh produce just costs too much. We used to be able to afford to eat seafood like haddock, shrimp, and salmon, but not anymore. Most healthy fresh food is out of reach for us now.

On my local community Facebook groups, people are asking for food donations because they have no food in the house. It was very sad on Easter when someone posted asking if anyone could spare 2 plates of their Easter dinner because they had no money to buy their own meal. Then a whole bunch of other people joined the post saying that they needed Easter dinner too.

Seems like the rich people are doing well though.

I'm happy for the people who are doing well, but a lot of Americans are struggling.
