President Donald Trumps senior economic adviser, Kevin Hassett, presented a cold view of the U.S. economic system Sunday, referring to American workers as human capital stock.
In a Sunday interview on CNN, Hassett predicted that business would pick up again soon.
Our human capital stock is ready to get back to work, he said, while admitting at the same time that the nation will continue to struggle with unemployment as high as 23% this month.
The smiling Hassett seemed blithely calm about an unemployment rate north of 20% in May, which may be higher in June and will likely be in the double digits by November, he said.

Ain't gonna' happen. This is to be opposed vociferously and without fail. I don't think any of us want to live in that kind of country, but we are getting closer and closer now. Without any opposition, it can become enforced and we may not find a way out again.
Meanwhile, the freedumb fighters imagine that their conspiracy theories and not wearing masks amounts to something other than harming their fellow Americans in someway. The are distracted and totally off the mark. They won't expect the imposition of their enforced Fiefdom until it is far too late. So much for them.
