Like seriously, who do they think they’re fooling? This rhetoric of “the economy is great” doesn’t work on people who are struggling more and more every year through no fault of their own. Nobody but the super rich give a shit about quarterly profits and your definition of recession. The working class has been in “recession” for decades.

I’m starting to reject the idea that people should get less help even if it is some fault of their own.
We shouldn’t have a system where if you don’t make every decision perfectly you just deserve what you get and should just suck it up. There should be more ways for people to turn it around, more ways for people to get a mulligan for past (or even recent) bad decisions that helps them get back on their feet or better yet put their feet on a better path.
Making a bad decision (or two, or three) on education or finances or even (to a point) breaking the law at the youngest and least experienced points in your life should not be something that puts you on an uphill climb for decades afterward.

The same rhetoric that the Republicans use to great effect even when they torch the economy…
