The other problem is we sit here and talk about GDP and unemployment rate , CPI etc and that's what Biden did but average people don't understand any of that or care about it. They think it's all double speak because they don't understand.

120 years ago most people had a lot less formal education that people do today but I think because of that those people tried to understand things more, they paid more attention and they were more engaged in the world around them because they depended on that for their survial.
