do you live in the same reality as me?
Tons of articles posted here talk about economy topics but not inflation or GDP or unemployment
As to banks, there's a LOT more stuff considered in monetary policy, like domestic consumption/investment, gov spending/taxes, net exports/imports.
populist politics focus on unemployment and inflation but even Trump campaigned on reducing government spending which in fact is bad for unemployment but apparently more important to Americans regardless

How much money is actually spent where isn’t a part of that debate and effectively doesn’t matter. No amount of cuts can satisfy that concern.
