When you’re rich, really eight-figure inherited/married wealth rich, a recession means you might opt for the pre-owned Gulfstream IV over the new. If only to let the little people know that you feel their pain.
When you’re poor, bad times threaten your job, your family, your health, or your life. Bad times hurt people at the margins.
The liberal ruling class displays an astonishingly callous disregard of the human cost of bad economic times on the huddled masses whose interests they claim to safeguard.
But even the most clueless patrician among our elected elite would never suggest that a recession is a good thing.
Would he?
