******** NYTimes: The Legacy of Destructive Austerity

The Republicans did everything they could to delay economic recovery until they could get a Republican president in the White House.  Ironically, many of the older blue collar workers who voted for Trump lost their jobs and went into retirement unemployed or underemployed.
