We inherited a mess - the universal refrain of marxists everywhere - I’m sure Lenin and Stalin said the same thing - can’t be the fault of commie philosophy or policies - just can’t be that.
Unemployment has just dropped to 3%.
I can’t believe I was lie to again! One trillion dollars and all I got was the bill.
