Most find this truth hard to believe. It is well-known that it is far easier to lie to many than to convince many they have accepted big lies. This is so because no one believes he or she is gullible.

There was no recovery under either Obama or Trump though there were short advances under both presidents. Since Biden, the economy has taken a sharper turn downward.

This time though, FRCBs will not mask the decline. Hard times will become revealed at long last.
