   Prediction: this causes a recession in two years, right after a Democrat wins the White House, who will be blamed for it. The economy will turn around after a few years, just in time for a Republican to win and claim they fixed it.

   This is how Republicans have a reputation for being economically savvy despite actual evidence to the contrary, because the general population doesn’t understand that economics runs on a time delay.

      Easy fix, have the democrats lose the next election and you break the spell. It's all military industrial complex anyway.

            Hello similarly named account.

            I basically agree. I don't care for DJT, but I can see how getting his "second term" underway after his first one could have been better. His four years away allowed him to stew and plan and respond.

               Yes. Even Trump has talked about this.

            Would have thinned the herd nicely by botching COVID and saved a ton on welfare.
