My response to the kooks who buy this 5% line is okay if the economy is so wonderful why is there a record number in poverty? Why are interest rates at zero still? Why is there a record number of people not working? Why is there a record number of people on food stamps? You can’t have a thriving economy and these other numbers going through the roof.
Who are you going to believe your own eyes or what the government tells you? If you believe the government you already have more problems personally than I care to even attempt to deal with.
