America the Schizophrenic
I must admit, last week’s election took me by surprise. I knew all the polls predicted a close race, but I kept telling myself that the American I believed in would not elect such a man, again, knowing full well all the things he has said and done — in his personal, professional, and political lives. I was giving us too much credit.
Democrats might tell the public that Wall Street was hitting record highs , that GDP growth was among the best in the world, that unemployment was low , and that inflation was finally back under control , but voters didn’t believe them. For most people, the economy isn’t working.
