“I see a fundamental economic reorganization taking place under Trump-—so far, even without any legislation. Because it’s all about signals: what will the IRS/Pres/reg agencies do? And he’s sending all the right signals.”

Also, I think any draining of the swamp, or signals thereof, will cause hundreds of millions of $ of influence peddling money to return to the real economy.

When lobbyists face the reality that HRC didn’t win - and is therefore not sitting in the White House signing mountains of bills intended to rigg the economy in their favor - I would think they might have to consider redirecting all that money now spent purchasing politicians back into the real economy and try to make an honest buck for a change.

Can we hope that there might be a sort of “swamp draining dividend”?

I think that’s very realistic. As I said somewhere else here, think of this:

Trump got a commitment of $20b from the Saudis for “infrastructure.” What if that didn’t go to the Fed government, where Congress would have a say, but what if Trump and King Salman agreed that SA would make a direct grant to, say, the state of Texas (after pre-arrangement with Gov. Abbot) that ALL this money would be used for the Wall, provided it is built according to fed standards in the accepted bids????

Next, AZ? Then a recalcitrant NM. Sooner or later, CA will want its hand on it, but will have to crack down on “sanctuary” crap.
