Mailbag: Angry old person shouts MAGA lies at clouds about the economy

They support Trump for the simple fact they would like to keep working and making a living wage, no tax on overtime does not hurt either. But most Teamsters understand a vote for Harris will eventually kill their jobs, A trucking or transport company finds it hard to stay afloat with 4.00 to 6.00 a gallon diesel, Drill baby Drill!

This is the kind of response you’d expect from a MAGA devotee, for whom facts are whatever they decide they want them to be.

Actual facts:

• Diesel is at $3.52 a gallon right now, so, not $4 to $6 a gallon.
• The U.S. was producing 11.5 million barrels of oil per day in January 2021; we’re producing 13.2 million barrels per day today. That’s up 15 percent.
• Democrats inherited Trump’s 6.3 percent unemployment rate from January 2021 and turned it into the 4.2 percent rate that we have today.
• Donald Trump’s tariffs will cost the U.S. economy nearly a million jobs in the first year of a second Trump administration alone.

I guess most Teamsters don’t understand facts.

There must be another reason they want Trump, and not Harris.
