Leid Stories—Trump’s Big Con; Minding Our Own Business—12.21.17

Knowing the president’s penchant for lying and gratuitous overstatements about his business acumen and success (which is also lying), we should be very skeptical about his “Christmas gift” of a $1.5-trillion budget that will cause a rising tide of prosperity that will lift all boats. The rosy picture he paints doesn’t square with reality. Rather, it’s another of his tall tales, told to distract and buy time before the economic tsunami hits, says Leid Stories.

 

In a related commentary, Leid Stories repeats its warning that we all should mind our own business, preparing ourselves for the economic calamities that are much closer than we think.
