23. And that will lead to two things for us.
Thu May 7, 2026, 01:48 PM
Thursday

First, we will find ourselves under the iron boot of bankers imposing austerity. What this is likely to look like is we will have the heck taxed out of us but all programs that benefit us will be cut because we own $39 trillion to the bankers.

Second, prices will continue to increase, while companies begin layoffs. So we will have higher unemployment and many people will begin to not be able to make ends meet while at the same time social safety nets are being reduced to fund the irresponsible tax cuts for corporations and billionaires.

The Donald really has done a bang-up job helping Putin and Russia finally WIN the cold war, hasn't he?
