Ford is closing a plant and moving it to Mexico after just bringing it back from Mexico because of the current Administration’s plan for increased taxes.

Price of steel up 145%,

Lumber 126%

Wheat up 25%

Food index up 25%

Cotton 35%

Silver 38%

Copper 50%

Soybeans 71%

Oil 80%

Pipeline jobs lost

Wall construction jobs lost

1.9 trillion in stimulus that funds the administrations pet projects and only paid a fraction to the people

29 trillion in debt with 4.8 trillion projected 2021 deficit before the 2 trillion dollar stimulus proposed today for the new green deal

9+% unemployment with millions of job openings that can’t be filled because federal unemployment assistance makes it more advantageous for people to stay home than work

What an interesting time with the new administration - but at least, no more mean tweets!
