I understand how “the economy” is a term that is open to interpretation and its current health can be debated. But the last two points of the original three are pretty straightforward and yet a challenge for many people.
FWIW, anytime someone uses the words “Everybody, Nobody, Always, Never” or their equivalent I automatically ignore whatever they are saying. Except this time, I guess. For the record, I seem to care.

Personally, I think this kind of legal deal is BS. These types of people need to be held accountable and publicly called guilty. Every time one of them “settles” they basically get away with what they did. Most people never hear about it.
I guess my problem is that this decision basically makes the public awareness of her actions go away for most people. It matters to me because she is running for public office.
How does this coexist with "the economy is lousy"?
