    Again, I’m sure cherry picked government released stats back up your very specific claim. It will and has fallen on deaf ears to the majority of Americans who have massively increased credit card spending while massively decreasing all recreational spending.

    Your claim is in the same category as claiming increased GDP means a better economy. Yeah, kinda right, if you ignore actual conditions for real people.

      You made a statement of fact that the actual facts contradict. All I did was point out what the actual facts say. This is nothing even remotely like some subjective analysis of what makes a good economy. Although I guess I did give my subjective analysis that it’s “the right direction” when wage growth, especially for low wage workers, has been outpacing inflation for over a year. But I figure that would be pretty universally agreed upon.

      But you appear to just want to believe what you believe, the facts be damned. Just like a good little trump supporter.

        Yes everyone that disagrees with corporate America is a trump supporter. Good work with your deductive skills. It’s no wonder you people are bleeding registered voters.

          I didn’t say you were a Trump supporter, I said you are acting just like one. But good on you abandoning the indefensible point. Much easier to whine.
