But you and I know exactly who the Golden Age is for. A handful of corrupt people inside Donald Trump's White House and inside his family. That is the entire list. There is no Golden Age for you and me.
They're lying about these numbers. Let's be clear about it. They fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics last year. We are two months out from an election. You don't need to be a genius to see the plan: convince people the economy is better when it fundamentally isn't, and hold that lie together just long enough to get through November....
