You might not hear this sat in opera box, but "the economy is doing well" is code for "shareholders are making more money than ever." Except that definition of "the economy is doing well" is the one Clinton ran on, Bush etc...

It has nothing to do with improving the lives of the majority. And while its a temporary fix to sell the poor/middle on policies that don't help them. It's not going to lead to a long term solution. Or long term popularity of the president that enacted those policies.
