    This is a very good synopsis. I, too, have an experience similar to yours, and while I don’t feel it in my bank account, I see Republicans, Fundigelicals, and Conservatives being allowed to run amok and cause all kinds of localized damage. It does not feel good to know that businesses are currently getting away with greedflation, churches are getting away with tax fraud, and Conservatives are successfully robbing the government via fraudulent PPP loans and school vouchers.

    The Biden Administration might have a general handle on the economy, but they still seem to be operating under the illusion that the above groups have some basic decency and decorum. And it’s that “boys will be boys” attitude towards them that makes a lot of people worried about the future, in spite of economic improvements.

      The focus on the economy is the problem. The average American cares about the cost of living and the quality of life. An economy that fails to deliver those is worthless to most of us.
