WILBUR ROSS - BILLIONAIRE - SCHMUCK
OUT OF TOUCH AND OFF THE WALL - BILLIONAIRE THINKING IN COMMERCE
HAS NO FRICKIN IDEA HOW LOW AND MIDDLE INCOME PEOPLE LIVE
There’s nothing shameful about attaining wealth, but Ross' comments that he does not understand why someone who is about to miss their second paycheck may feel food insecure are, to put it lightly, out of touch. As a Cabinet secretary who oversees the Census Bureau, which accumulates the best data in the world on Americans' living standards, here is a primer for Secretary Ross. The lives and expenses of 800,000 federal employees do not stop because they are not getting a paycheck.
If you are an essential employee, like a Transportation Security Administration agent, you’re still going to work, which means you're still buying gas to fill up your car, you're still buying groceries to pack a lunch, you're still dropping your child off at day care, and your rent or mortgage payment is still due on the first of the month.
You may still have medical bills to pay. Expenses do not stop even when the paycheck does.
The fact that the president, his advisers and Republican members of Congress have chosen to hold regular working people hostage for an unnecessary and unpopular wall shows just how out of touch they really are. Real people are suffering every day the shutdown continues.
Sure, some workers will get their back pay when the shutdown ends, but who knows how many bills they might have missed in the meantime, and how much in interest and late fees they will owe. We cannot forget the thousands more contractors, many of whom work as janitors or in food service, who are out of luck for federal back pay and might have lost a whole months pay already.
But the lowest form of appreciation for those who are challenged by this fake crisis came from the Cabinet member Wilbur Ross, he’s the old guy who looks like death warmed over running the Commerce department, what a f•cking cold blooded pr*ck he is.. He told the workers to go to a bank and get a loan.
"Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump each spoke to the situation of furloughed federal workers this week. Each managed to stick their billionaire comments in the face of those going through a turmoil that was not needed. Each had no idea what it means to a family to go without several paychecks. ... Is it possible to be more aloof, more casually and carelessly presumptuous?
Time for impeachment grows closer and closer, if not then, the guillotine... I believe it was in France where someone said there was not bread, and the reply from the rich was “ Let them eat cake”. He lost his head over that statement. Anyway the French said they would ship a new guillotine to us ( oversized for Donald’s fat head and glued hair) the same day as ordered and overnight it air express.
