If Trump gets elected the fruits & vegetables will be rotting in the fields again & there won't be any for anyone to buy.
Just remember that the powers-that-be have stated that we are not in a recession.
Don't look at evidence from your own eyes, don't depend on the news, don't depend on multiple studies showing the same thing. Just take it on faith that the economists know what's best for us. Blind faith.
Not all economic problems are a recession. Consumers are facing significant issues right now, but the overall economy is doing well.
Our issue is that all that wealth is mysteriously staying in the hands of large corporations.
but the overall economy is doing well.
Yes, when you ignore data that doesn't support your viewpoint.
Wow, you couldn't have come up with a more ironic statement...

We're not in a recession. The economy is growing precisely because grocery store prices are rising. The thing we are measuring - year over year increases in inflation-adjusted business revenue - is only defined as "not a recession" when industry profits are rising.
If grocery prices were falling and wages were outpacing investment returns and state programs had cash left over because fewer people needed them, we'd see a flood of money leaving the agricultural sector and a sharp reduction in output as capital scrambled to protect itself from declining returns. And that would result in a recession.
Having a healthy citizenry pays for itself, elected leaders are shortsighted
No shit
