The jobs market carnage is shown in sharp focus in the graphic below from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center in Washington.

In just four weeks we have seen 22 million jobs disappear. That’s a huge number, the equivalent of the combined workforces of Georgia, Illinois, Maryland and Pennsylvania. A Federal Reserve study suggests we will reach a 32% unemployment, far worse than in the depths of the 1930s Great Depression, when the rate was just shy of 25%.

Job losses during the 1990, 2001 and 2008 recessions rose slowly and steadily. Each took more than six months to reach their peaks, giving people warnings and time to adjust as best they could.

In contrast, the Trump Pandemic job losses took off like an Atlas rocket while he insisted that by April the virus would magically vanish. (We call it the Trump Pandemic because while Trump didn’t start it, he made the pandemic much worse through denial, inaction, neglect, incompetence, blaming others and corruption.)

1. And I guarantee that he'll try something to block the upcoming Nov. 2020 elections that he...

knows he'll lose by a landslide. He's desperate, and will say and/or do anything, despite the states having control of the election process instead of the federal government.

What happens if some red states don't participate in the elections, in order to pls. the dictator? I'd guess that their electoral votes won't get counted towards the 270 electoral votes needed to win, which Biden will win handily. I don't recall what happened in the Civil War, but I think that they still voted (the conf. states), but w/ loyal federalists voting instead of the confederates.

and continue to shove the responsibility that he was suppose to do and take responsibility for by getting a national test up and running , and put it on the governors backs and say and tell the idiots that believe him, see they failed I didn't fail they didn't get the tests done.........................he is only worried about his ass being in jail right now..............and he will go to jail, if he fails in this crimnal enterprise that he has been fomenting for the last three years..............I will wear a mask, gown, gloves if I have to to get this jerk out of office................
