If you were around for almost 80 years like me, you experienced strong U.S. economies and weak ones. Economies ebb and flow. The economy is good for people when they can easily cover their expenses, increase their savings, and enjoy some of the fun things in life like recreation and travel. Today's economy works for me for many reasons most of which have nothing to do with which U.S President is in office. Also, it helps that I am an optimist.
