And take away almost 2 trillion out of Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security like trump and the gop have done, and robbed millions more of their ACA without serious consequences. Just like what happened under W Bush is happening again, but worse. Trump and the gop can blame others all they want , but the facts are this is the second time they've chosen to do this knowing what it would cause. trump and the republicans were recently trying to get another round of huge tax cuts for the wealthy again, then trump lied and claimed they were planning to give the middle class a tax cut, just before the Mid Terms, which again was all another act , and another lie from trump. Add to all that his tariffs , and other policies hurting the economy and this time it's going to get worse. Don't expect trump or the gop to tell you it's getting worse. Again it'll be like W who claimed everything was ok when it clearly wasn't. And now trump's shutdown. It's a economic nightmare he and the gop have created, again.
