    I love how out of touch the media is these days. Saying we can’t explain why…uhh yea…yea we can. You just don’t listen to anyone but your handlers.

      This article, for once, actually listens to real people and understands the problem:

      Therein lies a disconnect between most economic indicators that economists consider — things like GDP, the unemployment rate, job growth and inflation — which are all looking up, and how voters feel. When voters measure economic well-being, they’re much more likely to use more personal metrics, such as how easily their family can meet their basic needs.

        That’s interesting, as the title and then the first few sentences say they can’t explain why people are mad at the economy.
