So now Fox Business is preparing their viewers for "a bit of temporary pain" amid Trump-Musk's DOGE cuts, saying that "people forget that when [Ronald Reagan] came into office in 1981, he slashed federal head count and put the economy back into the double dip recession of 1980 and 1981."

These people are unwatchable. I don't understand how working people can watch these jerks bang the drum for the rich everyday.
Reagan gutted Social Security, and started taking SS payments, he handcuffed schools, and ballooned the deficit.
Reagan was an ass.
Wait, why did I vote for this, again?"
Regardless, pre-warning won't make a difference. If the economy goes into recession, the President's numbers will go down.
now they can report remotely from the gulag.

Apart from Trump there is no actual crisis. It's a kayfabe fiction in fat tights.
