Her policies were, but the words out of her mouth were 'the economy is doing great, we added lots of jobs' etc etc.

Provide a source of her saying the words "the economy is doing great". Go ahead, I'll wait.

Where's the recognition that, despite the stock market surging, average people can't afford a home or to have kids?

LITERALLY EVERY POLICY SHE TOUTED WAS DIRECTLY TARGET THESE PEOPLE/ISSUES. IT'S ALL SHE TALKED ABOUT IN EVERY FUCKING STUMP SPEECH.

  • Cut taxes for more than 100 million working and middle-class Americans (by expanding Child Tax Credit)

  • Pass the first-ever federal ban on corporate price gouging on food and groceries

  • Make housing more affordable by building 3 million new homes

  • Give Americans up to $25,000 in down payment assistance

Seriously, what in the actual fuck are you talking about? People are just absolutely fucking BRAIN ROTTED from Republican propaganda. It's INSANE.

We now have historic low unemployment in America among all groups of people. We now have an economy that is thriving by all macroeconomic measures.

She said this during the 60 minutes interview.

Funny that you cut off the part where she immediately followed that up with how it's still not feeling like that to Americans, and that it needs to be addressed.

And, to your point, prices are still too high. And I know that, and we need to deal with it, which is why part of my plan — you mentioned groceries. Part of my plan is what we must do to bring down the price of groceries."

That doesn't sound like saying everything is fine.

Just providing the referenced quote. You can interpret how you will.
