Monday

What I see scrolling across my home page is way worse than companies cutting back, companies are closing down, big companies.

The rich don't shop at Walmart, I expect the last quarter GDP to be near zero. Right now our GDP doesn't cover the interest on our debt. Remember when Republicans used to worry about the deficit, well now is the time to worry, but crickets.

Also when Krasnov gets control of the Fed and lowers interest rates to zero, the dollar is going to crash. Our dollars aren't going to buy as much of the Chinese imports.

No healthcare will murder thousands of people and bankrupt millions more.

Happy Holidays.
