17. Because they can't tell the media

what to say?

Media moguls wanna be trillionaires too, ya know. And a lawless, incompetent gubment will help to speed that up rather than slow it down with its pesky laws and white-collar enforcement.

I tend to think unemployment is low right now largely because a lot of boomers are retiring and leaving lots of job openings in their wake; that will continue for a while. I'm also skeptical of the government's economic numbers knowing that in the past Dumpy the Clown has accused others of cooking the books. They probably wouldn't do it but he and his corrupt toadies wouldn't hesitate if it serves their interests.

Maybe somebody should spend more time talking about Dumpy's irresponsible "trickle-up" tax cuts borrowed from the Reagan playbook, massive deficits and record national debt, tariff ignorance, massive bailouts for farmers that dwarf Obama's auto bailouts, massive farm bankruptcies, massive trucking company bankruptcies, etc.

Very difficult to do so, to confirm that it began after Prez Obama brought us elleng Dec 2019 #1
