In reply to the discussion: Are they just insane? Why do the American People overwhelmingly think the economy is doing poorly? [View all]inthewind21
(4,616 posts)numbers, yes, we are over a 100% recovery in jobs since covid. People got use to cheap $$$, low interest. People got use to the covid $$ flowing in and protections provided. Are prices up? Yes, but newsflash, prices don't stay the same for decades, or even a year. Never have, never will. Is the economy great? Depends on who you are asking. Are we on the brink of food lines and total devastation? I say no. I'm certain there are those who think otherwise. The economy is what the economy is because THE PEOPLE allow it. Blaming the media, blaming the republicans, blaming corporate America, blaming anyone but the real responsible party, THE PEOPLE! Bottom line. The Government makes laws and regulations that have a great impact on how the economy is working. WHO is in that Government making those laws and regulations (or taking them away) is the PEOPLES responsibility. So we can all sit here and blame this or that, but until the PEOPLE decide enough is enough, well, be prepared to complain indefinitely.
