LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR ELECTED

THERE ARE MANY THEORIES AS TO WHY DONALD TRUMP AND HIS REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES GOT ELECTED. I THINK THAT IT WAS NOT ABOUT GENDER NOR RACE. TRUMP AND THE TRUMPISTS LIED.

PRESIDENT ELECT TRUMP PROMISED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HE WOULD DO THE IMPOSSIBLE. 

THERE IS NO WAY TO REVERSE INFLATION AND BRING PRICES BACK DOWN. 

THERE IS NO WAY TO RESTORE LOST MANUFACTURING JOBS. THE LOW WAGES LURE AMERICAN BUSINESS OFFSHORE. 

TARIFFS ARE PAID FOR BY CONSUMERS AND THEY WILL STIMULATE INFLATION. 

TARIFFS WILL PROVIDE ONLY A LITTLE REVENUE FOR THE GOVERNMENT.

I READ THE WORKS OF FUTURISTS SIXTY YEARS AGO. THE PREDICTIONS WERE DIRE, FORECASTING HIGHER PRICES AND A REDUCED AVAILABILITY OF HOUSING. 

THE MESSAGE WAS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO BEAR LIVING WITH LESS OF AND NOT AS GOOD AS AND MORE EXPENSIVE EVERYTHING.

IT IS NOT THE FAULT OF GOVERNMENT. THE DIMINISHING OF PURCHASING POWER IS INEVITABLE AS WE USE UP THE PLANETS MOST EASILY AVAILABLE RESOURCES.
