conix, Basically your own misinformed, misguided and maladjusted "...average citizen is not indicating satisfaction with the health of the economy." Before the last midterms, for which you predicted a red tsunami, we suggested to you that conservative misinformation would play a role in the result. In fact it did, but only to the extent that instead of your predicted red wave you got a lesser blue rinsed congress. It was contradiction to past midterm results. As you have just been reminder there is plenty of time for enough of your misguided citizens to be caught up into reality about the true condition of the economy, before the elections of 2024.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
