    Thats right, these rich and wealthy are happy to sacrifice the current economy for a recession for their “plan”. I hope the average joe worker who voted them in is ready for that sacrifice for the next few years because it’s going to be rough but don’t you mind the rich and wealthy will be fine as they buy the low dip on well everything enriching themselves further.
