I agree with the main thrust of your post. I just want to point out that while America as a whole may have enjoyed economic prosperity in the last decade, most of its citizens, due to massive income inequality and the constant shoveling of evermore wealth to ever-fewer individuals, haven’t. We here all know that, of course, but I personally find myself incapable of not explicitly stating this fact whenever a conversation mentions that the economy has been strong, so I hope you’ll forgive my pedantry on the subject.
