The economics analyst for the Morning Joe show, Steve Rattner, concedes that there would have been no way to avoid a hit to the economy and higher unemployment due to the current crises but then goes on to say that if "we" (meaning Trump) had moved faster we would have had less of an economic hit and lower unemployment.
You will also notice that Rattner is hyping a very very sloooooow recovery with unemployment remaining high without it returning to its previous level until 2023. Rattner's not very well hidden desire for unemployment to remain high is expressed in his prediction of double digit unemployment on Election Day.
One of the saddest faces you will see in the near future on television will be that of Steve Rattner if the economy bounces back quickly along with a fast rise in employment.
PING!
Fortunately only morons watch Morning Joe, and there are only three of them.
Does this mean you wanted Trump to impose the China travel ban earlier than January 29th?
Ratface is saying that as a signal to other incompetent, mentally deficient leftist drones so that they will all join in unison to condemn Trump for the loss of jobs. Only a f*cking a$$hole would believe that! For (censored) we were at full employment before the chinx, aided by george soros’s money, unleashed all hell on the world.
It feels good to rant, with all the $h!t that’s going on.
Well, Trump is responsible. He shouldn’t have said to lock down the country. He was on the right track in January when he said this is nothing more than another flu like virus.
Too late. He’s let Fauci run the country, and his re-election chances, into the ground.
Even with the 700,000 jobs lost in March, we’re still at 4.4% unemployment.
Is Rattner saying that Trump ordered the governor of my state to shut down “non-essential” businesses? Our “governor” did that on his own, with no prodding or advice from anyone, save his small clique of fellow Leftists. For the massive unemployment in Pennsylvania, the blame lies squarely at the feet of Tom Wolf.
Very few people in this country understand how Federalism works. Another failure of our school systems.
The country is shut down because of a pandemic and they are surprised that the unemployment numbers go up?
Who are these geniuses and why should we care what they think.
In the world where the left live everything bad is because “orange man” is bad. Any thing good is because of Obama. They never deviate from the script. They just add new words to fit the situation but it is always the same.
Predictions are for fools but I will play the fool and predict people will be going back to work sooner rather than later. I would not be surprised if there was an announcement next Friday that only those that are in a hot zone (New York) should remain in lock down but the rest of the nation could return to work on the following Monday.
for 3 years these idiots have been pushing for open borders. They now reap wht they sowed, so how could have Trump done jack shit to prevent this?
You know full well that these Commies are having daily (hourly?) orgasms over the unemployment and stock market woes at this time.
They are truly the Domestic Enemies that our Founding Fathers warned us about and gave us the tools to deal with them.
This little sawed off sh!t was sure picked on a lot in school. You just know it.
Knew it wouldn’t take long till the friggin’ rats came out of the woodwork to politicize it for DUmocrat advantage.
Rattner like so many a camera hog.
Send the bill to China
THERE IS NO IDIOT LIKE A LEFTIST IDIOT.
