When this nightmare is over the Smithsonian is going to need an entire floor to display the corruption.

Frankly, I fear that it might need it's own building that will be named "The American Holocaust Museum"

During Trump's first term he announced a few quarters over 4% but in actuality, he had ZERO quarters over 4 and his final GDP up to just before the pandemic was 2.7%. Obama had handed him a 2.5% GDP so with massive deficits spending he only raised it 0.2%.

Plus, that Obama rate of 2.5 included the abysmal numbers in Obama's first year when he had to fix the Bush recession. So for anyone who knows how averages work, that 2.5% was phenomenally better than Trump's 2.7%.

And for Obama, deficits were going down and for Trump, deficits were skyrocketing. So that abysmal increase for Trump came from borrowed money.

This is looking like a sharpie contrived inflation rate. I guess we wait for Wall Street analysis firms for the actual rate. They are paid to be accurate and not paid to protect the pedophile.

Who had on their bingo card that a Catholic Pope would try to adhere to the actual teachings of Christ? In this day and age?

I think they have done that. I think this plan says that Russia will be repaid out of the reparation funds they eventually send to Ukraine when this is over.

Europe was slow to respond to Hitler and up to this announcement I think they've been way to slow to respond to Putin and his buddy Trump.

What the insurance company's want is to get rid of the mandates and bring back junk insurance. And also to get rid of the pre existing conditions requirements. But the Republicans know that that would be untenable so what they plan is to make the program so horrible that the public will accept a new approach that LOOKS better but without those mandates.

So the goal is to make it a LOT worse by ending the mandates. And only then implement "pretend" improvements that lack those mandates. This is the entire philosophy behind privatization. Make it massively worse, then public cries out, then you make it slightly better and much of the public moves on.

It's actually a brilliant strategy and our media goes along with it.
