Interesting how “surprised” the experts are. Seems like they are receiving “unexpected” reports all the time. During the Obama administration, they were unexpectedly lower yet during Trump, they are unexpectedly higher.
I wonder why that is?

I don't need an expert to tell me what I can sense with my eyes and ears. When I take a drive on the Interstate highway, I see more truck traffic than I ever saw during the dark days of the Obama economy. I turn on the car radio, and hear the major trucking companies offering bonuses to new recruits. And when I walk into my favorite working man's pub, I see blue collar guys standing three deep at the bar, with fat wallets and a fist-full of cash, complaining about all the overtime, with big grins on their faces.
