"At that level of income, there’s almost no way to pay for food and shelter in any sizeable American city. That means people now can both be employed and homeless. "

And Trump thinks he should get an A+ for his job.

Well. If it's bomming it's no thanks to our utterly dipshitty President:

From the feed you posted:

Trump claims that the Mexican government has promised him to immediately start purchasing "as much farm product as they can." No idea what he's talking about.

Does bullshyte count as a ‘farm product’?

Yes, in fact, it does.

Exactly. And it looks like Trump can handle production of the required bullshyte completely on his own. ; )

The US Economy has been basically booming for about the last four years. Yesterday, Rush falsely stated on his radio show that the Economy under Obama didn't get above 1.5%. Link

I’m amazed by how often right-wing radio talking heads outright lie to their audience.

I don’t know if the hosts of these shows have so little confidence in the intellectual capacity of their listeners that they feel they must lie so often like this, or if the audience just has so little integrity as to be willing to sacrifice what’s left of it in favor of having their ego stroked by radio hosts telling them how ‘right’ they are.
