Kevin Hassett, Trump's economic adviser, says banks and CEOs visiting his office aren't seeing defaults or major problems. Problem: polling consistently shows Americans think the economy is as bad as it's been since the Great Depression. One of these things is wrong. Either the C-suite is lying to Hassett, or the public is catastrophizing based on nothing. Given that working people have had flat or declining wages for months while costs keep climbing, the public's probably closer to reality than the bankers in the room.
