Not much.

You really need to review some global economic history since 1930.

You are short on supporting facts (no history) and do not address the de-industrialization of the United States since 1972, how and why it occurred, who profits and who pays.

You have not discussed the income disparity between the modal socioeconomic average and the super-rich who control the federal government for all practical purposes related to economics and business.

You have not taken into account any social support systems such as universal health care found in Canada and the United Kingdom but not in the United States where it is entirely possible to die for lack of medical care for otherwise treatable conditions.

You have not addressed the cost of living in any significant way.

You have given no insight into what the GDP (gross domestic product) represents, how it is calculated, and whether or not it affects the quality of life for the majority of citizens.

Similarly, you refer to "our economy" without any qualifying data or explanation as to just how the majority of us are affected by whatever numbers you believe accurately describe our economy.

If some wealthy international investors and industrialists realized a great increase in profits all last year, is the economy growing? That phenomenon does not necessarily affect the quality of life for citizens represented by the socioeconomic mode. It might even have an adverse effect on those citizens. You have not made any realistic analysis.

Just what happened to all the people who lost their homes and incomes in the last four years? They disappeared from your awareness, not to be seen anywhere in the speech.

Some wealthy international investors made a huge profit from the ventures that contributed to those foreclosures. Who were those investors? Why did they need help from the rest of us?

What does it mean when someone reports, "The housing market is up”? For one thing it means that other investors have bought up those foreclosed homes and sold them for a profit. Did that in any way affect the welfare of people represented by the socioeconomic mode? Maybe for some, but you have not even looked at the issue.

You have not even attempted to describe how unemployment statistics are calculated and whether or not they truly represent how many persons are living in poverty or soon will be due to lack of gainful employment.

You have not discussed livable wages, the working poor, or the decline in income value over the last 40 years, how it occurred, and again, who profits and who pays.

It is apparent that you watch the propaganda we euphemistically refer to as the news. But it is equally apparent that you have no insight at all into real economic history including what is going on currently.
