That’s not a feeling, that’s a claim or an hypothesis. Such claims can be based on feelings, but the claims themselves can be empirically tested. What can’t be empirically proven or disproven, however, is whether or not someone’s subjective feelings about something are “right” or “wrong.” So, if you ask someone how they feel about the economy, and they say, “I don’t feel good about it,” there is no way to prove that feeling is factually “wrong.”
