Our economy is booming. The problem is not with foreign trade. The problem is that we have policies in place that allow all of the profit to go to the people at the very top while they punish the working class.
They have given a lot of lip service to this problem of income inequality, but then in office they focus a lot more on the identity politics, the social issues, etc. I get that the social issues are important as well, but that's not what the working class cares about.
