I called one of them up and asked them what they thought of the election... "he brings us hope, and hope is a good thing!"
yes.. he's also going to tax you and me to kingdom come so he can give it all to the poor in the country
"really? But there's hope that the economy will get better, that the stock market will go up"
stock market isn't an indication of economic strength, and we need a recession to get better
"but there's hope that we can avoid a recession"
