Hubs loses his job as of September 1st. Autos are slow and so are parts manufacturing. [View all]

I saw autos begin to falter in February when my son was laid off. Today there are thousands of auto and parts manufacturing workers laid off in the rust belt.Trump is a waste of air...no talent, incompetent nincompoop who will not do anything worthwhile. A person like Pres. Obama could stave off the coming recession. Trump won't be able to. As an auto wife for years, I have seen multiple times that autos are the first to fall and the first to recover in a recession...so slap your seat belts on...the Trump economic shit show is coming. God help us all.
