Perhaps. But when so many aren't doing so well and they are force-fed "the economy is great", and *this is key* those disenfranchised vote...well, I hope you see where this is going. The Federal gov (read: both parties) can't keep using aggregated numbers to hide the details and the hurting. Ppl aren't that naive any more. The world has changed. The gov's reporting of the economy has not. The more that disconnect widens, the worse the potential for sociopolitical fallout. We've been seeing that and yet how has Uncle Sam adjusted? Please don't shoot the messenger.
