******** NYTimes: The Legacy of Destructive Austerity

The Republicans did everything they could to delay economic recovery until they could get a Republican president in the White House.  Ironically, many of the older blue collar workers who voted for Trump lost their jobs and went into retirement unemployed or underemployed.

The elites who run the businesses and governments of our county are mostly to blame for the mismanagement has caused much of our current dilemma.  It is very important for us as voters to hold the politicians and political parties to account for the specific lies, manipulations and malfeasance they committed.

Their goal is to make us mad so we will vote out of anger instead of thinking about exactly what they did to us and are planning to do.

Your serious responses are encouraged.
