The Economy

There is a lot of talk about how our economy is doing so well and we have low unemployment.

However we have at least much bad news as good when you consider the state of the American public.

Unaffordable college costs, increasing health costs and prescription costs, more and more Americans falling below the poverty level, wages not keeping up with inflation and more.

We see the wealth gap increasing because the economy is certainly doing well for the wealthy and investors, not the average worker.

`So when wall street and certain economists talk about the great economy, although most don't call it great, they discount the increasing deficit, the growing trade gaps and the income inequality.

Is the economy good?  Depends on who you are but not most people.
