Brace Yourself for Trump's Great Recession

Last edited Mon Jul 6, 2020, 04:32 PM - Edit history (1)

Seriously. Brace yourselves! This covers and encapsulates the overall situation well and what to expect without any action being taken to mitigate it.

There is nothing partisan or sensationalist about this message. The message just stands out in stark contrast to the current propaganda campaigns that convey a message of optimism and distraction that is ultimately going to prove to be disruptive, destructive and deadly.

Keep in mind: MILLIONS of people all going down and out in a very short time. Yikes.

Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich warns of the looming Great Depression brought on by Trump and the GOP's refusal to act to mitigate the damage wrought by this pandemic.

Valium for the coming depression. Many people say it works wonderfully. Try it, what have you got to lose?

Pay attention when Trump claims the economy is going down the drain if he is not reelected.

He is telling us what condition he is going to leave the country in.
