Yeah, that's a tough one to figure out. Maybe some economics PH.D can give us a long-winded complicated reason for the discrepancy. I know, ask Paul Krugman, the revered economic opinion writer for the NYT. He's always correct, except when he isn't.
Or you can always look at President Trump's changes in our system in just 4 years at the WH or his campaign promises that he fulfilled. Just don't look at his "mean tweets".
