Axios — “Why Americans Hate the Good Economy”
In an exclusive, Axios shared a top-line analysis of Kitchen Table Project resources, noting:
“The big-picture indicators of the U.S. economy — GDP, unemployment and so on — are doing finewhile public opinion on economic conditions is at rock bottom.
The big picture: The juxtaposition is the result of not just the elevated prices reflected in macroeconomic data, but higher and more volatile prices for the specific items that dominate Americans' day-to-day living expenses.
That's the early conclusion of top Democratic economic policy minds who have embarked on a new effort to quantify — and develop policy responses to — the economic forces that ail American households.”
