      Uh, yes. We could talk about unemployment numbers, but even if we did (and i have a distinct feeling you’re being vague because you don’t plan to) those numbers aren’t by a long shot the only metric we use measuring the economy.

      In fact a lot of ways “the economy” is measured doesn’t take into account things the average citizen cares about, like cost of living etc. hence my use of the widespread pejorative "rich peoples yacht money

      That’s not true. They definitely should do way more to help the working class but the numbers show that the economy in general is better under them.

            Wealthy people have enough money to spread around and diversify. Even if their money in US market is in red, their money in European and Asian markets is in green. And that’s without taking gold or silver into account.
