He keeps saying that he wants to get back to “Normal”. He tells the people that we will have a “booming” 4th quarter economy. It’s simply not true.
The truth is sometimes a bitter pill to swallow but pretending the earth is flat isn’t the answer. The truth is that when we have passed the pandemic stage the world that we know will be dramatically different. Things aren’t going to go back to the way they were.
The economy isn’t going to perform some miraculous bounce back in the fourth quarter. We’re going to experience a greatly extended period of austerity. We’re not going to return 35 million people to work overnight. In fact many people will find themselves shutout of the workforce completely.
FDR recognized that private employment wasn’t going to fill the gap during the depression era. He built the WPA to fill the gap. It put people back to work and played a major role in rebuilding the country. Why isn’t DJT not stealing this idea and making it his own. The answer I’m afraid is painfully simple. He lacks the intellectual horsepower to do the job.
The sooner we face reality the less painful our new world will be.
