I guess I have a different idea of what a booming economy is supposed to be. G&S raking in more doesn't really help everyone after all. The economy in the US improved last year, but it has been doing that for a while (granted I suppose it'd have to after 08-09, heh).
Hm I guess you can attribute people's attitude to him in some way. Saw a report interviewing Trump supporters in some ****hole Midwest town, they said it was a great economy and when the reporter said the boom didn't seem local they responded with faith that it'd get better.
But we all know what hope is
