The idiots are saying this is unexpected. Why is it I'm not an economist, or a pundit and this is not a surprise to me? :eyes:

You live in the real world and you are not trying to buttress your failing economic models by lying for a corrupt administration.

Any questions?

8. Strange, considering we the people, in numbers far too large to ignore,

have, in effect, ratified the Administration's fiscal, tax, and economic policies, have given the President a mandate to stay the course/proceed full speed ahead with a known agenda. Strange indeed for we the people have spoken as to the government of its choice. Let the fun proceed.
