Why the Economy Feels Broken (Even When It Isn’t)

Second Thoughts

Why does the data say one thing while everyday Americans feel another? In this episode, we explore the disconnect between economic reports and consumer sentiment. Discover how media narratives shape anxiety, why small businesses struggle under regulatory burdens, and who actually benefits from economic uncertainty. From job reports to spending habits and the influence of government policies, we dissect what truly drives public perception and economic behavior. Learn why fear can halt spending and how creative thinking helps people adapt through tough times.
