Greets and saluts from the no longer sweltering NYC metro area (we went from summer to mid-fall overnight, but have no fear, another heat wave is on tap for next week).

Trump’s lunatic economic policies are on full display here.

He touts a strong economy but then cites dire predictions to prevent federal workers from getting a scheduled raise. At same time, he’s touting his massive $1.5 trillion tax cut plan, which adds - $1.5 trillion in debt over 10 years.

The budget cost for the wage hike is a fraction of the $1.5 trillion, but there’s no way Trump’s going to roll back the tax scam. Nope. He’s doubling down by claiming that he can give COLA adjustments to allow even more capital gains to avoid taxation. That’s right folks, all while claiming he can’t give federal workers wage hikes (COLA), he’s claiming that he can give COLA adjustment to allow millionaires like himself an even bigger slice of the pie by adjusting the capital gains threshold without Congressional approval.

They’re actively sabotaging the functioning government when they’re not incompetently running it into the ground.
