VIDEO: Steve Rattner Suggests Trump at Fault for Higher Unemployment Numbers

[pjcomix]

The economics analyst for the Morning Joe show, Steve Rattner, concedes that there would have been no way to avoid a hit to the economy and higher unemployment due to the current crises but then goes on to say that if "we" (meaning Trump) had moved faster we would have had less of an economic hit and lower unemployment.

You will also notice that Rattner is hyping a very very sloooooow recovery with unemployment remaining high without it returning to its previous level until 2023. Rattner's not very well hidden desire for unemployment to remain high is expressed in his prediction of double digit unemployment on Election Day.

One of the saddest faces you will see in the near future on television will be that of Steve Rattner if the economy bounces back quickly along with a fast rise in employment.

Interesting that none of the governors directly responsible for declaring some businesses essential and others not are held to account for the high unemployment.  This whole thing could and should have been addressed in a much more targeted approach.
