Ha! Are you my long lost brother (or sister)? I wonder the same exact thing! What the...? I mean we're all looking at the same DATA but the "experts" all come up with different conclusions.
I usually look at my own and immediate surrounding situation to guage things. Inflation, wages etc... My tuition will triple next year and my financial aid has been cut back. I'm no mathmetician but that don't add up. I suppose that's what "no child left behind" means. Cost of living has increased for me and income has stayed the same. Interest rates have risen so my student loans will be more expensive.
So I simply conclude, the economy is great for some, and not-so-great for others. (Pretty much what all those highly paid experts say!). *sigh*
