And it's a couple of things.

The biggest thing is we have such wealth inequality in this country, the fact that so many little people have so much and so many people have nothing, that the economy is rigged like this.

And the thing is that when the economy is rigged like this, even when you pass bills that grow the economy, which on paper is good,

it grows the way it's rigged.

And so when it grows like that, people at the bottom, which is the majority of it's all working people, they don't feel that as much.

And that's part of the issue that we have and part of the reason why we need to take a step back and look at the system itself and how we change that

for people so that way we all feel it.

And I think, and I agree with you, it's, it's the policy, it's the way we talk about it.

And then it's what we do when we're in power.

And part of the thing that I've been talking to a lot of folks about is how do we write legislation in Congress to set more aggressive timelines?

This is something FDR was obsessed with throughout the new deal, right?

Is,

you know, for every two things or whatever that would take four years.

Like, we need something people will feel in a couple months to show people that government can work for them.

We don't have that kind of thinking anymore in government.

The timelines are so vast, they spill into other presidencies when you don't know what the political situation is going to be.

And the fact of the matter is people are suffering now.

So it's easier.

And some people may say, well, look at Trump.

He's working fast.
