    Poor baby. I still don’t understand why all the austerity measures. Because when donvict came into office, he was handed an economy with very, very great numbers.

    I mean, in their fictional universe - the real reason is likely to defang any oversight of these criminals and steal as much money for themselves. The cover story they tell the idiot base is what?

      The austerity is an attempt to offset the money the US will lose from tax cuts for the ultra wealthy.

      It’s their way of giving the appearance of a balanced budget.

      In reality, the austerity measures are just another transfer of wealth to the ultra wealthy.
