These nitwits still don't get it.

Maybe the economic metrics you've chosen to measure and maximize don't address the actual kitchen table #economy that affect the 99%.

How are homelessness, low wages, unavailable housing, lack of union protection, terror over medical debt, etc captured? They aren't!

"The economy grew" could be like a person building muscle or like a cancer metastasizing.

Measure the right variables.
