P.S. U.S. economy (you know, something that actually matters, as opposed

Not really. The economy is in pretty poor shape, with wealth disparity
increasing and more and more people in deep **** due to medical
expenses.

Businesses are generally doing fine. That's a lousy metric for the
economy.

Really? Do you mean businesses that provide actual JOBS and health
benefits for those "poor" folk? Or are you talking about those people
that work for US in gov't. jobs?

Businesses provide jobs. They shouldn't be allowed to provide health
benefits; that's one of our problems. But having a job doesn't mean
you're in a good position. Employment is also a poor indicator of
economic health.

The U.S. economy is a disaster.
