It is clear that the economy has not gotten better for everyone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
This economy is not getting better and the president's policies are the reason.
Everybody is talking today about the economy.
As the economy improves, there aren't as many opportunities.
When people talk of the economy being strong, they don't seem to feel that they, too, are better off.
The economy has barely recovered from the so-called 'Great Recession', with a 2 percent annual rate of growth since mid-2009. Peak worker wages, business investment, and productivity all occurred around the year 2000.
If large numbers of people believe they have no shot at a better life in the future, they will work less hard and generate fewer new ideas and businesses. The economy, as a whole, will be poorer.
The entire economy, of course, is locked in a down cycle right now. Last time we weathered this was during another Bush presidency in '90. We were locked in it for a year and a half and everyone came out of it.
People today don't become economists to make the world a better place.
The fact is that the economy is really posed for the kind of recovery that people can see and understand.
The president's economic plan doesn't do enough to create new jobs and that has to be a national priority. While there are some signs the economy is improving, it is not translating into jobs.
