Pelosi’s budget…
…is the customary Democratic payoff to cronies and representing the first step to fulfill the party’s priorities, which are both socially and financially bankrupt. Trump characterized it as overspending by $21.8 billion for things he never asked for.
Speaker Pelosi announces it as a great achievement, even though it includes nothing for any type of wall anywhere on the border. Her own daughter warns us what a viscous witch she is. Since she and Sen. Chuck Schumer refused to listen to the border security briefing Wednesday at the White House, Trump sent every member of Congress and reporters slides of the presentation the Democratic leaders fled from.
Now the top Dems are trying to spin the new and very big job numbers as bad news for Americans. DNC chair Tom Perez blasted Trump for increasing economic “volatility.” I’m still trying to figure out how creating double the number of jobs expected in December creates volatility. Majority Leader Steny Hoyer claimed bad economic policies are taking a toll on small businesses, farmers, and working families, yet offered no evidence. This surprised me, as Democrats generally have no trouble creating fiction to support their talking points. Could even their creative geniuses not find a way to make .4% wage growth a destructive thing?
The closest the average American gets to the stock market is likely a mutual fund of some sort. But the stock market, which suffered a year-end bout of hysteria, is not the economy, which just keeps climbing upward, improving the lives of Americans. Wages were stagnant under His Oneness, no matter how jiggy his team got with the numbers. Median household income hit an all-time high in November, but apparently we must ignore that as well.
