It’s so funny to me that everything has to be couched in terms of being “good for the economy” can’t we just say it’s good for people? The strength of the economy is secondary to the well being of the people. A strong economy can make for better off people, but the end goal is people, not “the economy”.

This implies any of the amoral, unempathetic people responsible for this ideology actually gave a flying fuck about “the people”.
It was a grift. It was always a grift. The rich and people of power have been doing this sort of thing for millennia.
