Sources who say the economy is better than it has ever been only say that because it’s better for THEM. Not just too much $ is in hands of too few; too much power is in the hands of too few, including the power to tell our story. The suffering of millions has been made invisible.

Numbers don't lie. Are you suggesting things were better when the unemployment rate was 10%? Or in the late '70's, when inflation was running 8-10% a year?

You are ignoring the statistical facts Marianne. Unemployment across the board is at virtual full employment, wages overall are increasing 3%, business investment is high. Yet in progressively run urban areas, homelessness is on the rise, and those local gov't are banning straws.

When unemployment is low there are jobs for all not just the few!

Only the liberals say that, they cannot applaud Trump for anything he has accomplished to fix America. Some politicians have been elected for decades and yet nothing has changed for the better. Trump in 3 months changed our economy Trump 2020

My boyfriend works 60 hours a week just to make ends meet! There is business after business closing down and jobs lost. It’s delusional to think this economy is getting better!
