or the rationale behind it. It's just that we understand it -- and think it's BS.

"Also unemployment is set to drop below 8% on Friday and the Dow is near record highs so no need for stimulus right now anyway."

The statement above demonstrates such a deep and glaring disconnect -- with anything going on in the real world ...

Donald Trump is sinking like a bloody rock, deeper and faster every day -- and yet we're suppose to give the disadvantaged and the working poor a sucker punch to the gut -- just to drive the point home further. I'm not only not ON BOARD with that -- but I have to tell you I'm awfully glad that my vote isn't going toward supporting anyone that thinks like that.
