Rs won't admit the co$t of having tRump as POTUS

This is the cost of the tRump presidency:

* Trillions of dollars in emergency relief funding, probably nearing $10-trillion by year’s end

* Over 150,000 Americans dead by year’s end, due to COVID-19

* Tens of thousands of small businesses lost, gone forever

* Thousands of large businesses, shaken to their core

* 20-30% of Americans unemployed, many will join the ranks of the long-term unemployed

* Staggering addition to the national debt

* Loss of standing around the globe

* Loss of confidence in government (perhaps the RW’s ultimate goal in all this)

The cost is there. We will either pay it by assuming tens of trillions of dollars in long-term debt, or through human lives and suffering for decades to come.

“What have you got to lose?” See above.

This is the tRump legacy. This is what he WILL be remembered for - the worst president in US history. And all because the Rs were too cowardly to confront/thwart his crimes and idiocies while they could.

The cost to the economy and quality of life that will be the result of a handful of billionaires and big corporations which benefit, growing their holdings and consolidating their monopolies over the rest of us.
