It's impossible for economic policy to not be politicized. Look around the world, all political parties are distinctly grouped by their economic beliefs. If anything, the US political landscape needs to be more far more political on the economy. Differentiating republicans and democrats on their economic policies is almost impossible. Especially compared to literally every other country (excluding dictatorships). This almost identical belief about the economy has made an incredibly toxic and arbitrary system where people misplace their anger at each other because they have not been educated on what the true source of their anger is or what their alternatives are! It's made an ugly tribal political system where it's us vs them.
