But these figures will not show the numbers of workers who could not find another job after the crash of 2008 brought about by the lying American banks conning the world with their mortgage scams.

These workers and the ones in Britain and Europe fell off the unemployment roll and will probably never be seen again except for the black economy.

At least Clinton failed and her 'backers', many of the same financial organisations who 'weathered' the crisis by being funded by The Fed, will not be able to tell Trump what to do like they would have with her.

It's getting close to decision time for Obumma as to whether he will give her a 'keep out of jail' card aka a presidential pardon for all her misdeeds!

The 'backers' [donors/investors] don't [needn't] have any loyalty / ethics. They can “back” anyone - including Trump - who is in the position to help them grab more money! Trump MUST love this situation!
