The voters blamed Hoover and Jimmy for the economic situation. They did not blame FDR in 1936. They won’t blame Trump in 2020.
Blame the Chinese. Blame the stars. Blame Darwin ...survival of the fittest.
The economic and social result of the big Federal spending is unknown. We have never been here before.
Currently optimistic/aggressive employers are filtering through the unemployed, finding those who are self-motivated to work. Smart employers are grabbing the best employees first.
That means the average and sub-par employees will be the last to be hired. They will be on unemployment comp that pays better than the jobs for which they are qualified.
That will drive employers to replace them with automation/robots.
We need a common sense (non-ideological) approach. Increase the pay of the working poor by paying them the full fruits of their labor. Their net pay should include both the employer and employee share of payroll taxes.
Drop this unemployment comp. It is crazy. It is counter-productive.
Your opinion, I respect, sir. You have an innate grasp of voter fundamentals. It makes me happy that you think Trump will win 2020.
An aside: It appears my reputation in Atlanta is solid enough that I am being actively recruited by several groups, even though I am well-situated.
Example: I've been contacted by two people in the CDC who know my work, who want me back. They have COVID grant money; they trust me. I won't go. Private business pays about 20-30k more than Federal Contracting or even direct Federal hire.
Still, it was flattering.
