"Well to get to your business you have to cross a bridge and someones gotta build that bridge" Weak sauce.
Words dont mean shit, his "stimulus" package does NOTHING for this country, see what he is trying to do is not make it look so bad on his numbers. He can employ a ton of shit workers for temporary infrastructure jobs so his numbers each year for unemployment dont look bad. If you guys dont see what this administration is doing to this country you are fucking blind.

I think the stimulus package is a joke and will only make things worse. However, I can only assume that there's a reason they haven't done a lot of those other things.
For better or worse, he has made it quite clear that he's checking with financial experts, his party, his team... even with the republicans!
I am fairly certain that you understand the financial world better than I do (from what I've read of yours) but even you can't have all of the info that he must be given at this point.
I don't trust the man as far as I can throw him but at the same time, at least for me, he hasn't given me all that much reason to not trust him. Certainly not in the way the last president did.
I guess what I'm saying is, for me, I don't see a good way out of this mess. But he's trying to keep people positive. Trying to encourage people to move forward. It's mostly useless but when you've got nothing else... I just don't think it's worth all the hatred. Do I think he'll "save us all", no. Do I think we should hate him for trying? no. |
