The three R's--reading, writing and arithmetic--seem set to be replaced by Russia, racism and recession - when Democrats seek reasons for their defeat in the 2020 elections

Democrats obsession with recession will cause increasing depression



Democrats obsession with recession will cause increasing depressionBill Maher--the host of HBO show Real Time - is growing increasingly worried that his wish for a recession to be visited on American voters still has not yet materialized. On 9 June 2018 Maher had told his viewers:
"Can I ask about the economy because this economy is going pretty well? .... I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point. And by the way, I'm hoping for it. Because I think one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy. So, please, bring on the recession. Sorry if that hurts people, but it's either root for a recession or you lose your democracy,"
Maher returned to this theme on 22 June 2018:
"A recession is a survivable event; what Trump is doing to this country is not....I'm not rooting for a disaster, the disaster's already here. If a recession is what it takes to make Donald Trump not so cute anymore then bring it on, because, seriously, one of the problems with a roaring economy is it tends to make people put up with a bad president"
Aspiring Democratic Presidential nominee--Elizabeth Warren--has now joined Maher-- claiming in an article on 22 July 2019 sensationally headlined "The coming economic crash--and how to stop it":
"When I look at the economy today, I see a lot to worry about again (As she did in 2008--Ed). I see a manufacturing sector in recession. I see a precarious economy that is built on debt--both household debt and corporate debt--and that is vulnerable to shocks. And I see a number of serious shocks on the horizon that could cause our economy's shaky foundation to crumble....The country's economic foundation is fragile. A single shock could bring it all down. And the Trump Administration's reckless behavior is increasing the odds of just such a shock."
Warren's detailed reasons have been pulled to pieces in a devastating critique by Liz Peek- a former partner of major Wall Street firm Wertheim & Company and for 15 years a columnist for The Fiscal Times, Fox News, the New York Sun and numerous other organizations.

Peek concludes:
"Warren is not stupid, she's just self-interested. Nothing could be better for Democrats hoping to retake the Oval Office than a recession. Nothing could be better for candidate Warren than being the one who can say: "I told you so."
Nothing however could be worse for Warren and all her fellow nominees contesting the 2020 elections who choose to jump on Warren's recession bandwagon -if their doomsday prognostications of a recession fail to emerge by November 2020. Ironically even Bill Maher has little faith now that his fervent wish for such a recession will be granted--contradicting Warren to boot--when declaring on 2 August 2019:
"Yeah, it's hard to beat an incumbent in a good economy. Every incumbent since FDR has won if they avoided a recession leading up to the election year and consumer confidence is sky high. Americans have disposable income. It's a bullish market."
Some economic downturns coming off a very high bar--far above what President Trump found in 2017--could be a possibility. But a single shock to bring the whole system down? Voters will desert the Democrats in droves as Trump reminds them of this alarmist and outrageous prediction. Maher and Warren's obsession with a non-happening recession guarantees their descent into an ever- increasing depression. The three R's--reading, writing and arithmetic--seem set to be replaced by Russia, racism and recession - when Democrats seek reasons for their defeat in the 2020 elections.
