Actually, if you ignore food, shelter, healthcare, childcare, and a few other unimportant things, the economy is fantastic!The funny thing is, the capitalists at Moody's and similar are downgrading the US's credit rating based on the economy not being exploitative enough.
"The economy is terrible! Food, shelter, healthcare, childcare, and everything else is way too cheap! You have to get rid of social security, SNAP, and Medicare!"
"Neither party has seriously addressed the rising costs of the Social Security and Medicare programs that represent a significant slice of federal spending"
All this does is make the bonds the US issues require a higher interest to attract buyers, which cascades throughout the market making everything more expensive, and rewarding more people with money to loan to others
