The OP is trying to find ways to justify a terrible economy, which still has elevated inflation, high energy costs, high food costs, high labor costs, etc… If we are in such good shape, why is the stock market still low? Why are 30 year loans close to 7%? Why is Powell projected to raise rates 2 more times this year and will be keeping the rates high for a longer period?
Trying to justify a good job at bringing gas prices down to $3+ a gallon when it was over a $1 cheaper in 2020 and never should be over $2 if we were still the dominant oil producer in the world. Selling our reserves to keep gas prices low is not a good strategy for the country.
