(Revolver)—Most people don’t want to curl up and read another boring think piece about “how the economy is doing.” Most people don’t care what Wall Street says or how the Fed spins it. They care about their rent, groceries, job security, and whether they can take a breath without stressing over their bank account.
That’s why this new focus group data, shared with Semafor, actually matters. Because for once, we’re hearing from real people, not analysts. And the findings are not shocking, but it’s a wake-up call. It turns out Americans across the board are fed up. They don’t feel secure, they don’t feel heard, and they sure as hell don’t feel optimistic.
American voters are “extremely pessimistic” about the economy regardless of their age, gender or race… Four in five participants said they did not feel financially secure, while nine in 10 said they think the economy is getting worse. They said they blame “greedy corporations” and view politicians as “in bed” with them.
But here’s the thing: this isn’t just some messaging problem that a PR firm can fix. It’s a disconnect between how DC measures success and how regular people actually “experience” it. The political class might be patting themselves on the back, but voters aren’t buying it and they don’t feel “heard.” The Semafor piece goes on:
Politicians in both parties … measure the economy [by] the stock market or unemployment rate or inflation,” Brown said. “That’s not how the voters think about it; that’s not how workers think about it.
What this focus group data really shows is something the right and President Trump can’t ignore. The economy isn’t just an issue. It’s the issue.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
