I think it was a good article to post. Sanders is selling young people on the snake oil that the government has any money other than what their parents give it and that government can successfully manage ANYTHING. Trump is trying to over shout that by declaring the hubris of the politicians and the corrupt bureaucracy. The USA is destined to become Venezuela - we need to have this fight, no matter how bloody.

There are a few areas where the government has legitimate roles. Namely, in national security and consumer protection.

Unfortunately, the efforts made so far to create a socialist worker's paradise are bankrupting the government. Legitimate functions of government are being cut back in order to keep the fire hose of "social" spending (i.e. wealth redistribution) going at full force. With such misdirection of public funds, the economy continues to suffer; the unemployment rate falls not because people are getting jobs, but because they stop looking for work.

We need a strong economically literate person to try to turn things around. Trump seems like that person.
