    Does the definition of “economy” actually include people or are we just looking at corporation numbers because I can believe THAT economy is going strong but there’s no way I believe that the entire economy is doing just fine. You don’t need to look further than the grocery store prices to see that.

      People. Wages are also rising across the board, hiring is through the roof (hence rising wages), etc.

      There is no person the economic turnaround is not directly benefiting.

        I call bs. I’m not suggesting it’s hurting anyone but there are definitely those who’s financial situation is no better. We need stronger social services, not just growth.

          While I agree that we need better social services, that doesn’t change the reality of everything else I said.
