Trump - Key To Ending Wall Street’s Devastation Of America’s Middle Class

This is a pro Democrat, RINO and Big Government headline. I could only imagine what the article contains.

If Trump thinks that Wall Street is the problem, then we are in so much trouble.

Your skepticism is well justified. To wit:

>> Wall Street refers to the agglomerated mess of brokerages and banks invigorated by Clinton’s passing of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act in 1999, repealing the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act, separating deposits from the speculation of the stock market casino <<

This quote from the article is pure garbage. It repeats familiar language from the "explanation" of the 2008 market panic that has long been standard among members of the far left. That explanation, which places heavy blame on the repeal of Glass-Stegall, has been dismissed time and again by responsible, respected centrist and conservative economists.

Beyond the infantile and discredited quote, the article on the whole is a simplistic and socialistic screed that belongs at a leftist venue like the "Nation" magazine or the DU website. Bernie Sanders, Jeremy Corbyn and Noam Chomsky could not have stated matters more tellingly.

And by the way, the author's appalling ignorance is further signaled by his referring to a coup de gras -- which anybody familiar with the French language can tell you means something like a "slice of fat."
