Trump wasnt president. No need to kill the greatest economy ever
The greatest economy in the world?
Pfffft. People couldn't last 1 month without a $1200 piece of cheese and getting into bread lines that wrap around the corner.
What happened about all of that extra money everybody had in their paychecks that we kept hearing about over and over and over again?
Get real. lol.
People were being sold an economic distortion. And they ate it up like candy for no other reason than poltical partisanship. We had four cents on the dollar worth of purchasing power before this virus and we'll have less afterward, but we still only had about four cents worth in the first place. And 21 trillion dollars worth of debt, I'd add.
The economy was already toast, they couldn't lie about it anymore. They couldn't keep lying about the effect of inflation on the standard of living by manipulating the CPI anymore either. They tried going with the chained CPI gig in order to hide the effect, but that didn't work. Predictably. And this convenient pandemic has served as a perfect distraction away from the root cause. Which is the Federal Reserve itself. It's also served as a great drill to lay the groundwork for making sure people don't get outta line when it gets worse. And it will.
The electorate would do well to wake up and pay attention. Because all of this fake left/right dick waving about whose tyrant is better than the other guy's tyrant is laughable at best. With the exception of a very, very small group of genuine free-market folks in Washington, pretty much all of em are trustees in the same failed monetary policy.
Let me ask this. While Trump's ever faithful groupies were complaining about him being spied on, when's the last time anyone heard him complain about the electorate being spied on? I'll say never. He doesn't give a **** about you. lol. We just had bipartisan legislation passed to collect up all of our data and not a peep from Trump about that. We also have little Napoleons all over the country acting on CDC recommendations that he could rescind with the stroke of a pen. Has he done it? Of course not. Do you know why? Because he's playing both sides of the fence and he knows his base won't think beyond the colors red and blue long enough to start asking why he hasn't rescinded them. He's working with the little Napoleons to completely negate the way it used to be where the legislature made the laws and the executive executed them. Now the little Napoleons are making up law arbitrarily as they go. He could recind their premise for being able to do that. But he hasn't.
If people would take just a moment to pay the **** attention, I think they'd find the love affair to be one-sided.
The only entities at all who will benefit from any of this are the patent holders like Fauci and the pharmaceutical companies who stand to make trillions. It's a picture-perfect repeat of what we saw after 9/11 when the defense industry made a fortune while we lined up and dropped our pants in the TSA line or marched through Chertoff's x-ray machines. Fauci is effectively the new Michael Chertoff in that regard.
Trump is no different than Bush or Obama. He's smply continuing their models. He's just the new face that Gingrich and that bunch squeezed in there when they realized that over 50% of the electorate were tired of the two party ruse. He's an illusion of difference in a time when the electorate is more concerned with the letters D and R versus peace, prosperity and civil liberties. Nothing more.
