Скачать или смотреть The Economy Looks Strong — So Why Do Americans Feel Broke?

The economy looks strong on paper.
So why do so many Americans feel broke, stressed, and stuck?

Retail sales are up. Jobs still exist. Headlines keep saying the economy is “resilient.”
Yet millions of everyday Americans feel like life is getting harder, not easier.

In this video, we break down the growing gap between headline economics and lived reality — why the numbers look good while households feel weaker, and how a “strong economy” can coexist with financial stress, shrinking options, and rising anxiety.

This is not about politics as a team sport.
This is about power, risk, and who actually benefits when the economy is declared strong.

We examine:

Why consumer spending doesn’t always mean financial health

How inflation resets daily life even after it “cools”

Why having a job doesn’t feel the same as having leverage

How credit, debt, and risk are quietly pushed onto households

Why time, stress, and trade-offs are the hidden costs no chart shows

And how economic messaging can drift away from lived experience

This is a clear-eyed look at why Americans keep spending while feeling poorer, why optimism in headlines doesn’t translate into security at home, and what this disconnect means for trust, stability, and democracy itself.

No talking points.
No partisan spin.
Just a hard look at how economic power actually works — and how it shows up in everyday life.
