Indeed it is. Instead of paying a living wage to Americans, sleazy businessmen, with the help of this administration, hire illegals for pennies on the dollar and drive their profits up by virtually eliminating labor costs.
Open Border = Cheap labor….. the dirty secret no one wants to talk about.

Lolololol. 
The economy is good? Seriously?
I’m afraid 80% of Americans think you’re absolutely nuts.

Yeah, and? It's always that way. Another pandemic could hit, etc.
He also said it's as good as he's seen in 35 years as an economist.
He could be right, but note he represents the financial sector with a self interest in generating revenue the perception of good times brings. In other words, he has a conflict of interest.
I believe objective sources are required before proclaiming a robust economy (built on a house of cards IMO).
I say we get the peer reviewed.

Yes, and he's not immune from playing politics, either.
Sure, but he stated facts. Sorry they are inconvenient for your narrative. 
What narrative? Be specific please. IMO, the quote is as vague as it can be. The economy will either be good or will not be good. Doesn't take a PhD in economics to come up with that conclusion.

Your narrative that the economy is not good simply because eggs and gas are a bit more than they were a couple years ago.
If that is not your narrative and you admit that the economy is good, then please accept my apology.
