Forgot to say that these numbers are rarely ever mentioned by the mainstream media (MSM), not to spoil the back-slapping narrative of politicians and their sycophants "See? We stabilized the economy and saved you from a depression" (at the cost of $1T new debt/year).
- cryoshon 11y agoNot sure why you got downvoted for this, you are entirely right regarding the shyness of the MSM to discuss the actual state of the economy. Part of it is due to the perception of the economy creating the reality of the economy, but it's also much more in line with the government to say that things are rosy.
- morgante 11y ago> Forgot to say that these numbers are rarely ever mentioned by the mainstream media (MSM) I see despairing articles about the state of the American middle class in the media all the time. In fact, this very article is from the mainstream media.
- jazzyk 11y agoNot the headline news, which is what most people consume. There ARE despairing articles to be found, but you need to reach out a bit to find them.
