Bullshit. That's literally why everyone wants to hear politicians talking about "the economy" because anyone with more than single digit IQ knows that they're talking about everyone.

Any conversation about the economy includes unemployment rates - this is literally speaking directly about the poorest among us.

Any financial commentary in the last month has talked about interest rates, which is a key "household finance" issue. Perhaps not important to those in abject poverty, but certainly important to anyone who works in a service industry.
