Following the BREXIT vote in late June and passionate support for the Bernie Sanders campaign, the Presidential election of Donald Trump provided yet another sign that the American people, as well as many around the world, are increasingly demanding a new economic path. This piece is not written to opine on the election or the merits of Donald Trump. The intent is to highlight, through the use of a few charts, that the nation’s economic policy for the last 30 years has failed greatly and hollowed out the middle class. The consequences have been accumulating for years but have been camouflaged by ever increasing, but unsuccessful attempts to reignite economic growth.

"I first noticed during the 1980’s bank mergers that the stock market went up every time blocks of workers were laid-off (instead of when companies made a profit.) Ah-oh, something had gone wrong. Stocks used to go down because everyone knew jobless workers was bad in the long run."

The reality of it is, making money is hard. For the last 30 years it has been keep the shareholders happy with mergers and acquisitions, lowering your cost by off-shoring, and it has been all about the deals through the brokerage firms when these mergers occur.

It is time to get back to your core competencies and yes internal growth is hard. But if Obamacare is gone, Obama's new work rules, Dodd-Frank gone so you get capital again, a 15% flat business tax, and cheap and plentiful natural gas for your plant when we unleash the fracking revolution, how can a company not be competitive nationally and internationally as well?

Globalism reduces employee's share of GDP by expanding the labor force to include virtual slaves who make a few dollars a day, putting strong downward pressure on wages.

Labor's share of GDP will rise when globalism is repealed by Donald Trump's immigration and trade revolution.

they weren’t bad messengers, people just didn’t want to listen. just like many people didn’t and don’t listen now to truth of God when it’s spoken in many situations. People are many times selfish and think they know better than truth.

Trump’s last speeches were closers. He fought like I’ve not seen in my lifetime. I don’t care who you are, you have to give him credit for doing that. He went to the mat for this election. His life, his fortune, and his sacred honor.

We’ve not seen anyone like this in a Presidency.

Ross Perot’s squeeky voice did him in. I voted for him mainly because of my respect for his actions in successfully getting his employees back from Iran.

When the purpose of the stock market changed from being a tool for companies to raise capital for long term projects and their own company infrastructure investment while rewarding wise long term business decisions and instead turned into a short term gain casino game is when the Stock Market as a concept jumped the shark.

And the government insured mortgage programs were supposed to be a means to transfer capital from wealthy banks back east to the growing states so local banks could serve their local communities with home ownership.

Too complicated for me, but, I have common sense.

In no way should a Soros exist.

Congress needs to rewrite the rules for the middle class and to eliminate the Soros class.
