Our economy, thanks to Donald Trump

 On Friday the Labor Department announced that the U.S. economy had lost 140,000 jobs during the month of December.  It's a number that isn't likely to get much better over the coming months until the coronavirus vaccine has had time to do its job.

I note this because it's obvious our economy is going to need more stimulus over the next few months, which would be next to impossible had Ralph Warnock and Jon Ossoff not won their runoff elections in Georgia last week.  The republican party has shown again and again that the livelihoods of ordinary Americans are secondary to their need to keep a grip on power, and had we lost those elections, God only knows how far they would have been happy to let the economy fall in an attempt to make President Biden look bad.

In light of the attempted coup last week, it's easy to forget about how important winning a majority in the U.S. Senate was.  It's highly likely that the Democratic Party saved our republic not just once, but twice last week--and three times now in the past two months.

Contrary to what the right wing nutjobs who stormed the capitol building last week think, we are the true patriots.

385,000+ Dead Americans Because of Donald Trump's Incompetence
