    That isn’t a reflection of the strength of the economy. That’s just capitalism. Republicans are even further from being able to fix that. They somehow think getting rid of taxes and benefits will somehow fix that. Sure you can get some deflation if you increase the amount of debt of the populace, but that’s not an actual fix.

    Our economy’s health is not directly related to the average person’s buying power. One can argue that it’s actually inversely proportional.

      If that’s the case then a weak economy is what we should be aiming for

        Or just fix the problem and stop letting capitalism run rampant without regulations and start taxing the corporations and wealthy individuals who’s own profits are responsible for a majority of inflation.
