Smirking Nazi Dipshit Trump economist Kevin Hasset; "we're definitely in a recovery now"!

[maxrandb]

No fucking shit! He just said that to Velshi on MSNBC.

I swear he's not fucking human.

He could tell you that you have dick cancer and his smirking "everything is sunshine" expression would never change.

I've known a shit ton of people that could blow smoke up your ass and convince you it's a summer breeze, but this guy takes blowing smoke up your ass to a different level.

Like one of my old Master Chiefs used to say; "that guy is so good at turd polishing, he could convince you that you could pick it up by the 'clean end'"

1. He certainly is a cheerful fellow

You're right, he never changes that expression, which is really creepy.

2. K&R, I just mentioned his stupid smirk and of course they're playing with numbers cause these people

... can't tell the real truth to save their lives.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/reopening-economy-will-have-a-much-smallerthanexpected-impact-experts-argue-120701242.html

according to the above economist historically and what's happening in Sweden NOW... "opening up" the economy without a federated TTQ or vaccine doesn't work but for a 10% bump in GDP from 40% down.

Double that number to 20 ... we're still - 20% GDP according to CBO

March GDP fall was 4.8%, CBO estimates April to be -38%

All these people dead because stupid assed Trump wasted the shelter in place time and didn't get a federated TTQ in place

3. Makes me want to puke. Red state economies will be OK but blue states not

This poor excuse for a human said that. Red states will be doing better economically because they are opening up.

Jeezus Effin Krist. These people are truly evil. I took that as him insinuating that blue states do not deserve help since they are choosing not to open while red states are.

6. They'll give fed money to the red states

but not the blue states to make that appear true.

The Blue States could crush the United States economy into the fucking ground.

Maybe they should.

4. He works for Trump

5. I watch Velshi this morning.

Or rather, I tried to watch it when Hasset was on. I hate to start my Sundays with a violent reaction what I see and hear but this happened this morning:

Note: I always react negatively to "smirks".

7. Fun with numbers

It all depends on what you compare it to.

June will be better than May.

And you know they will pull that shit despite all official definition of what "recovery" means to an economist.

8. There's a reason that smiling asshole is still employed. The "likeable" used car salesman that

specializes in lemons.

10. He reminds me of this guy

9. And Yet Velshi Has Him On All The Time

[Chainfire]

11. He is correct in that, as the old song says

"Those who are not busy being born are busy dying."

You would have to have a time machine to know when the recovery began. We are in the first half of the game, it is way to early to call it.

Substantial recovery will begin when the disease is defeated, not before.
