      that’s what the “economy” means in politics.

      whenever they say who’s good for the economy, or what they’ll do for the economy.

      they are saying to the dividend elite that they’ll sacrifice the public welfare for the rich people’s welfare.

      that’s why they want “number go up” and don’t care about the public
