When Joe Sixpack turns on his tv everyday he is bombarded with stories about how the economy is about to collapse.
I’ve got to be honest here, even as a Trump supporter, the constant lies from the media are so pervasive and persistent that they eventually cause you to start almost believing them. Manipulation is a real thing and you have to be determined to not fall victim to it.
Most people are not smart enough or independent enough to not fall for it.
Then, they stop buying goods and services out of fear.

Guess what happens next?
It's sad that the Democrats seem to want the economy to fail because that may be the only way to tarnish Trump. As long as Trump can tout his economic accomplishments then he will get cheers at the rallies.

What has the Dem controlled House passed?
Only list meaningful bills that are bipartisan please.
Why did Trump give farmers billions of dollars in a bailout larger than Obama's GM bailout?
Why was Q2 GDP growth the weakest since Q4 of 2016?
Why is business investment and factory orders declining?
Why is the real estate market struggling?
Why is retail sales growth slowing?
Why is wage growth stagnant and slowing?
Why is the trade deficit rising as U.S. exports slow?
Why have credit card delinquencies reached a seven year high?
Why does Trump want more monetary stimulus on top of record fiscal stimulus?
Why did Trump sign into law a budget he negotiated with Speaker Pelosi that gives us record debt and larger deficits?
I look forward to your answers/falsehoods/excuses.
You are not asking the right questions. A good economy does not imply that every single sector is operating positively. You questions may have answers that have nothing to do with the economy.
I guess it would be good to define what makes a good economy - which may be different from person to person.
For me - I look at employment levels, wages with respect to the cost of goods (affordability), how is the middle class doing, the velocity of money flow, and just sensing the mood of the general populace - you can tell when people are getting antsy about their finances.
Right now - my indicators say we are at t good point right now.
I will add that the overall debt levels aren't good - but then if we got ourselves under control, that would slow the velocity of money flow.
Democrats are so desperate for a recession/depression so they can blame it on Trump. If Hillary was President, they’d be basking in the best economy ever.
