    US GDP had one surprise quarter where growth was lower than expected. That’s not “retracting”

      Still growing slower than China and they had wages that outpaced inflation unlike here. They haven’t had outrageous housing problems.

          Even if true, poverty is growing and the income gap is widening. The percentage of people living paycheck to paycheck is growing, the percentage of people that can’t afford their rent is growing, the homeless population is growing, with the fastest growing segment being the elderly. No amount of gaslighting from the government changes those numbers.

            And you think Russia and China are better on those fronts? We all have a similar Gini index, with China being the worst out of US, Russia, and China.
