🎤 What you said last time |

What you had to say: |
“We've done this... people forget because of the pandemic, but all the economists in 2019 were calling for a manufacturing recession because of tariffs. That was in full swing when the pandemic started, and certainly didn't help things. At some point, we need to stop electing people that think other people, from 250 years ago, were smarter than we are today... the millionaires will barely feel this, or it will be a net positive, as their taxes go down. The rest of us will get increased costs and decreased buying power.” |
