Trump's a Democrat now lol

 

Making chumps of us all.

President-elect Donald Trump said Thursday that Congress should get rid of the debt ceiling, a day after he came out against a deal reached by congressional lawmakers to fund the government before a shutdown occurs.

In a phone interview with NBC News, Trump said getting rid of the debt ceiling entirely would be the “smartest thing it [Congress] could do. I would support that entirely.”

“The Democrats have said they want to get rid of it. If they want to get rid of it, I would lead the charge,” Trump added. 

Trump suggested that the debt ceiling is a meaningless concept — and that no one knows for sure what would happen if it were to someday be breached — “a catastrophe, or meaningless” — and no one should want to find out. 

“It doesn’t mean anything, except psychologically,” he said. ...

In his call Wednesday for Republicans to ditch the negotiated bipartisan short-term spending bill, Trump also demanded that lawmakers increase the debt ceiling — something that hadn’t been on the table at all.

America continues in decline, undershooting its potential by 13 million full-time jobs

Full-time employment in June 2021 in the US, not seasonally adjusted, was 48.7% of civilian noninstitutional population. The average level had been 50.4% in 2019, historically anemic. That's a deficit of 4.6 million full-time jobs in June 2021 compared with the 2019 average.

 

If you can imagine full-time employment at 53.6% of civilian noninstitutional population as in the year 2000, you are talking about 140 million with full-time jobs today instead of the actual 127 million. America continues in decline undershooting its potential by 13 million full-time.

 

Sad!
