    That’s because no matter how well stock prices are doing, it still costs substantially more to buy groceries than it did last year, by way of example. The average American is screwed just as hard with a good economy as a bad one, and the poorer you are, the rawer the screwing.

      No one measures the economy based on stock prices.

      Inflation is going down, real wages are going up, unemployment is down.
