Krasnov May Cure Inflation [View all]

With people out of work, gasoline and gas and electric prices rising, people losing healthcare, it's a given that inflation will be cured by people cutting way back on spending. Right wing economists are praising this possibility. What they will not call this is what I call it, deflation, people, well not counting rich people, will not be able to afford the bare necessities of life.

Hooray the billionaires scream, the greatest economy ever and we won't have to wait in line at the hospital seeing as unwashed Americans won't be in line ahead of us, by the way, that's the main reason that wealthy people fight against single payer health care for all, poor people get in their way.

Greatest economy ever for the rich.
