But when the storm passes and everyone realizes we are on sounder footing, there will be a rapid recovery to a healthier, sustainable economy

Uh no. When winds were favorable to the billionaires they did the whole stock buyback, not get us on the fast track to a rapid recovery. When we put the tariffs on steel, we didn't get a stronger steel industry, we got US Steel going up for potential sale to the Japaneses.

This "there will be rapid recovery" every, single, stinking, time someone says this, the exact opposite happens. There's been no evidence that this would ever happen.

These Republicans are quick to say things like "Communism might sound great on paper, but it doesn't work in the real world." Well neither has this.

We're in weird times tho. The wealth gap isn't just widening, it's fucking Usain Bolt sprinting away from us. The rich get richer, the poors get to eat the bag of shit that trickles down. So yeah, I'm sure there will be a rapid recovery to a healthier, sustainable economy... If you are in the top 1%. If not, well, you should have just worked harder and got rich dummy.
