Probably no longer the wealthiest nation thanks to O’s efforts. The man has been coddled all his life and buys golf club sets that cost at least 3 months or more of salary for most folks. He has no concept of what disastrous consequences his policies are having on the economy and the people nor does he care as long as he gets his. Too bad that meteorite came down in Russia the other day...: )
Most people making $9 right now won’t get a raise but they will see price hikes from it. They will be worse off.
“Probably no longer the wealthiest nation thanks to O’s efforts.”
