Agreed.

But, the current impasse is the fault of one party.

Around 22 states are either in a recession or on the verge of a downturn, according to a new analysis from Moody’s Analytics. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, said the state’s problems stem from a mix of slowed-down immigration, increasing tariffs and federal job cuts.

quote:

According to Zandi, the following states are in a recession: Wyoming, Montana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Kansas, Massachusetts, Washington, Georgia, New Hampshire, Maryland, Rhode Island, Illinois, Delaware, Virginia, Oregon, Connecticut, South Dakota, New Jersey, Maine, Iowa, West Virginia and Washington, D.C.

As a retired federal LEO I think this is the greatest thing, ever. For every worker that does actual work, there are at least three that do absolutely nothing but make the one actual worker’s job miserable. There are layers and layers of highly paid people that do nothing. They invent more work for the actual workers to justify their do-nothing jobs.

The RIF’s should be in the hundreds of thousands. Every person whose job title starts with “deputy” or “assistant” need to go. Every agency needs to be cleaned out.

Wow! What a week for us. President Trump brokers a peace agreement between Hamas and Israel. The killing has stopped. Israeli hostages are coming home, although some will come home deceased. Regardless those poor Jewish families are getting their loved ones back. So I will rejoice with the families of the living, and mourn with the families of the dead.

Being the hands on President that he is, Sunday he and First Lady Melania will travel to the region to be on hand when those hostages are welcomed home. I just hope security is tight around him.

In an announcement that impacts me immediately, President Trump announces prescription drug prices are coming down......and coming down a lot.

So I will get on my knees today (literally), and "Thank God for President Trump". You should too.

President Trump is right about............everything.

So not from federal cuts, but from several factors.

Sky falling on you much?
