Nobel-winning economist Krugman warns that a U.S. recession looms in 2019

4. Interesting, and sobering

Quite frankly though, I have gotten weary of hearing of the "economic miracle," or the robust economic growth spoken of in the media. Trump has overheated sections of the economy with the tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, but I really question whether this economy is really working for most residents of the country. Where are the people who are achieving upward mobility right now? Is investment in personal retirement or savings up? I don't know, but it sure isn't among the people I know. I think many feel that they've been in a recession or stagnation for some time, perhaps this will help usher in the political change needed to fundamentally change how the middle class earns?
