Trump Economic Guru Cures Poverty with 'Get a Loan'
Trump's former economic advisor, Kevin Hassett, told federal workers facing a government shutdown, to simply 'take out a loan' to cover their missed paychecks. This pearl of wisdom, reported by the Independent, comes from a class of elites who seemingly believe banks hand out interest-free cash with a smile. Funny, that's not quite how the American economic system works for most people, especially
those living paycheck to paycheck because their federal government decided to play political chicken with their livelihoods. It’s a stark contrast to the swift, unquestioned allocation of billions for overseas military endeavors—often championed by the very same politicians who then balk at domestic spending. Perhaps Hassett's next brilliant idea will be advising those same federal workers, still
unpaid, to just buy less avocado toast for lunch. The disconnect is so profound it's almost comical, if it weren't so deeply insulting to the millions of citizens whose stolen wages fund the very lifestyle of these 'advisors.'
