Using GDP as a measurement of our success as a society is an outmoded way of thinking. How much does it help that unemployment is low, if depression, opioid addiction, and suicide rate are still high? We need a complete reframing of what our problems are and how to address them.

It actually takes a lot of skill to be President, before running a person should hold other political offices. I suggest becoming a city councilwoman, or mayor of a large city first - then work up to being a governor of some state - any state! You are not qualified.

Idiot. GDP isn’t societal, its economics. Crap. Quit now.

If you feel that way, just think of where we’d be if unemployment were high.

Are you serious? You don't have ANY idea what you are talking about! Find a person in pain & have a serious conversation. Open your firmly closed mind!

Being out of a job adds to depression. Working adds to ones self value and independece. Being out of a job adds time to do drugs and be depressed.

What is the governments role in thwarting depression? Our country has a “god”(less) problem- also not the governments area of responsibility. Helping there be A strong economy is the best thing the govt can do for an Americans psyche.
