JD Vance on CNBC says that if immigration was the path to prosperity, then "America would be the most prosperous country in the world." (Who wants to tell him ... )

JFC... just because our grandmothers didn't have many opportunities in the heart of Appalachia does not mean that America is a bad country. That's why our grandmothers left Kentucky for Ohio.
I don't think he's economically-illiterate, so I can only assume that when he says that immigrants have simultaneously depressed wages and caused rising inflation he's being deliberately and maliciously mendacious.
But this is a PERFECT example of what I posted earlier. I think he's being punked. His writers feed him cards with statements like this and he just reads them because he has NO CLUE they are the stupidest things he could say. It happens... every day.
I didn’t go to Yale, but I do have a MS and BS in quantitative economics and applied math and would love to know how this works in their addled little minds.
there's so little self awareness.. so disconnected from the reality of paying bills and working a job and getting groceries.
If it wasn't for their deep-pocketed sponsors pushing them to do their bidding, well... strike that, there are always parasites, they just find a different host.
from your comment, it appears none of the information expert corporate media on cnbc wanted to tell him. I find that strange.
Do they not know?
do they not care?
is there someone younger, more mental acuityed who should take their jobs?
I want a specific change (say universal health care) and repubs scream that i hate merica. Trump/vance/etc call us a failing country and they eat it up. I know hypocrisy doesn't matter but fuuuuuucccckkkkk
“Kamala Harris’ policies mean less energy; less money in people’s pockets; and a lot of people freezing on a cold winter night," he said. "I think that’s a disgrace in the richest country in the world."
Did they ask him what country was the most prosperous and also why he hates America and also does he use the Borat voice when he talks about "my couch"?
And this whole "America is doomed! DOOOOOOOMED!" thing is so weird. America doesn't do doomed. You just call the other party an asshole whose a jerk like we have for 200 years. Don't be a debbie downer, Trump. God.
The people who object to "woke" education also object to the kind of patriotic themes that defined "un-woke" education, like "land of opportunity", "the shining city on a hill", send us your huddled masses yearning to breath free, etc.
For proud Americans, they sure do seem to hate America.
He's trying to tell his base that the reason they are poor is because the country isn't prosperous, because immigrants.
If he admits that the USA is an immensely wealthy country, that raises the question of why the base is still so poor and struggling -- and who _does_ have all the money (and why).

"It's the 5th largest economy in the world. It's ahead of India in GDP by $400B. And, JD, you literally just went there for vacation."

@pfrazee.com this needs to be fixed post-haste!
Excited for you to start posting videos here so I don’t have to visit Threads any more 🙏
I was wrong
Their stupidity has no bottom.

Has anyone asked JD what Native tribe he’s from?
Don’t want to interrupt Vance’s anti-American disinformation from going out into the public.
