Major recession at the end of the Bush presidency.
A plague and depression at the end of the Trump presidency.


It's not planned. It's incompetence.
Stop electing Republicans.

Hate is like swallowing rat poison and expecting the rat to die.

Wall Street is disconnected from Main Street.

Keep living in your Dow Jones bubble while your neighbors are barely scraping by trying to stay in their homes.


This is a time for fundamental change. The end of trickle down economics and "limited government". This is our FDR era. If you want to play the Hoover life, we already know what you'll get, go back to 1930. Shanty towns and Hooverville's sound familiar? That's what it'll get you.

I'll even dare say it, if Americans get their act together and force Uncle Sam to enact our own FDR-type legislation through sheer political will. It'll even go further than what AOC is thinking about. We will get transformational change - if you want to of course, or keep the status quo.

Who controlled Congress the last few years of the Bush presidency? Does not Congress control the purse strings? I guess those Dems that controlled Congress bear no responsibility...right?

Hate? No, not hate. It's a frustration with those of you who don't have the ability to see through charlatan politicians. It's a frustration with those of you who vote against yourselves every time.


Before the media separated into factions, older people understood the nature of politicians for what they are.
