White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett shared a grim outlook on unemployment claims by the time of the November election during an interview on CNN Sunday morning.

After CNN’s Dana Bash mentioned that the Congressional Budget Office predicted that unemployment could still be at 9% at the end of 2021, she asked Hassett whether it’s possible for the number of unemployment claims to remain in double digits in November.

“Yes, I do,” Hassett said, before quickly adding that he thinks “all the signs of economic recovery” will be “raging everywhere.”

Hassett then argued that “the only thing” economists will debate about is whether the country will “get back to where we were” or if it will “be a long haul to get there,” before launching into an anecdote involving two of his friends who are Harvard professors.

Three items come to mind Hassett:

Did you call the vacationing #Moscow Mitch that it would be wise to pass the Hero's Act.........

Did you call your golfing "boss" during a pandemic with close to 100,000 deaths of criminality, that he is a sociopath, and narcissistic lunatic and should resign...........or that you will resign.....

Did you use your "cubic model" to determine the numbers..........and then did you call the #Moscow Mitch, that this is for real...........and that you cannot make up the numbers to make it look good..................
