Nolte: Politico Admits Democrats ‘Dread’ Fast Economic Rebound
Breitbart ^ | 5/26/2020 | John Nolte

Posted on 05/26/2020 7:15:08 PM PDT by bitt

The far-left Politico admitted Tuesday that Democrats are “dreading” the idea of a fast economic boom as America reopens, which explains the anti-science push among many Democrat governors to extend their pointless coronavirus lockdowns.

Thanks to these lockdowns, some 40 million people are unemployed, some 40 million lives have been shattered; lines at food pantries seem to go on forever; countless small businesses are in danger of closing or already have… Nevertheless, what America’s oh-so compassionate Democrats dread most is a quick economic rebound that might undermine their grasping desire to hold on to and obtain power.

“The general election scenario that Democrats are dreading,” the Politico headline reads.

And what is that scenario?

“We are about to see the best economic data we’ve seen in the history of this country,” a former economic adviser to Barack Obama told a bunch of bigwigs from both parties last month.

His name is Jason Furman and Politico says he “laid out a detailed case for why the months preceding the November election could offer Trump the chance to brag — truthfully — about the most explosive monthly employment numbers and GDP growth ever.”

Furman’s counterintuitive pitch has caused some Democrats, especially Obama alumni, around Washington to panic. “This is my big worry,” said a former Obama White House official who is still close to the former president. Asked about the level of concern among top party officials, he said, “It’s high — high, high, high, high.”

And top policy officials on the Biden campaign are preparing for a fall economic debate that might look very different than the one predicted at the start of the pandemic in March. “They are very much aware of this,” said an informal adviser.

Furmans counterintuitive pitch.

What is “counterintuitive” about it? Makes perfect sense to me.

Sean Hannity would call that attitude ‘UnAmerican!”

Fixed.

But the fellow travelers must be named:

Andrew Cuomo
Tommie the Commie Wolf
Mark Baker
Gretchen Whitmer
Gavin Nusome
Ron Islee

and any other Governor with a (D) behind its name.

The Democrat leaders are un-American.
If they ever get in office again, watch what they do with our tax money...and they'll try to get more and more of our money for their worthless projects.

I’m guessing less than a week after they remove the Indian H1B scabs from the United States, those Americans in software engineering, finance, insurance and medical fields with have their choice of decent jobs.

Since a large percentage of the 40mil unemployed are Democrats, I doubt they are dreading a quick recovery and a paycheck. It’s the Dem/Soc politicians who are concerned.

Throw in all the other Democrats too. They must be hiding something truly horrible they don’t want the American people to ever find out about, which would explain their all out effort to get the president at any cost. Their actions go far beyond the usual power grab and hating Donald Trump!

Because of all the permanent small business closings, the start-ups will be phenomenal, especially with all defunct leases in strip malls with pennies on the dollar offered by the property owners. We will also see some new big store start-ups. I firmly believe in the enterprising spirit of Americans. It may start slow, but will build beyond anyone’s doom scenarios. America is NOT done yet.

“...They must be hiding something truly horrible they don’t want the American people to ever find out about....”
Some of us have smelled “RAT” from the very onset of this BS. It is very likely they paid & colluded with the CCP on the planned release. IT was their “Plan B” should the impeachment fail. IF this can be proven, there are a whole bunch of these RAT bassturds that need to be dangling from rope for mass murder, treason, crime against humanity, etc. Now THAT would be something truly horrible that they don’t want the American people to ever find out about.

People are taking their lives back from the experts-of-nothing who have led us down a path of demonstrable lies!

The politicians from Congressman, to authoritarian governors down to gestapo mayors are putting their knee in the back of our collective necks, and nobody is pushing them off.

All for the electorate to see and just before an election.

An election they are now angling to rig with bogus mail-in ballots and harvesting thereafter...

We don’t need a V-shaped recovery, we need a checkmark-shaped recovery, and it’s coming!
