Editor's Note:
The exhaustion that many people feel in trying to live under a constantly meddling Democrat administration is real and intentional. As Eddie Scarry describes from a recent Washington Post article, those in charge of the country's economy seem to have nothing better to do than create rules and policies that require Americans to spend more and more of their time and energy trying to navigate. The goal of all authoritarians, of course, is to keep their subjects off balance and submissive. Most Americans, though, just want to be left alone. Reprinted with permission. Pat Daugherty, Ed.D.
Surprisingly useful in The Washington Post this week is a graphic-illustration article capturing the conflict between a U.S. economy that is by many measures healthy and the anxious, sour outlook that Americans have about their own finances. Most important were the recurring themes of a “psychological tax” and “mental costs.”
