These jobs the news reader will see, but the jobs that workers would have been doing had the government not hired them will be invisible to this reader. What Are the Seen and Unseen Jobs?

Requiem for a President Thus the impossible dream ends for some… and the impossible nightmare ends for others. His term opened with anti-Trump protests in the streets. His term closed with pro-Trump protests in the Capitol. How did we arrive at this pass? Today we reflect upon the strange presidency of Donald J. Trump.
