As a Democrat, I can see beyond the tip of my own nose, and no, the economy is not doing well.
3.5% inflation on top of 3% on top of 9%.
I PERSONALLY am doing fine, but I can see where other people are not. Getting loans to do simple things like replace a car that got totalled were INSANE. Even through a credit union. I have an 800 credit score and was being quoted 11 to 13%(!) At my credit union(!) Even through my normal bank it was almost 9%.
Fortunately, I had the cash to pay it off quickly, but other people aren’t going to have that option.
