Heard again today say that “the economy is good.”When 93 million Americans are near poverty, the economy is not “good.” When 13 million children are hungry, the economy is not “good.” When 100,000 children are homeless, the economy is not “good.” Good for but a few is not “good.”

A travesty has infected our nation, for as we now walk American cities, the dignity of our flag is contradicted by the tragedy of dishonored homeless veterans, many with mental health needs. These patriots are further victimized by society’s indignation, contempt, and abandonment

Please, state some more painfully obvious and obligatory observations. Where are numbers like these in your proposals to fix it?

And the thing about this is that if we use Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as a model, people fighting to satisfy basic needs can't achieve their highest human potential. It impacts every facet of life.

I was just in the States from Canada for Black Friday. I saw we are hiring at almost every establishment I went to.

When the Fed has pumped $150 billion into the economy in the last two moths (first time since 2008) , the economy is not "good".

Good if your rich, good if you own stock, good if you own a corporation. Most people in America do not follow under these categories. It’s time to change the metrics on how we measure a ‘good’ economy. 🇺🇸
