13. How can he turn it into a success? Simple - like the GOP always does it.

The GOP is already using this crisis as an opportunity to further demean and destroy the Federal Government by cutting taxes, further exploding debt, and pushing normal federal responsibility off onto our states.

In addition, beyond subsidizing citizens just enough to survive, if we don't rescue many thousands of small business and many millions of mortgage loan holders, there will be massive additional asset consolidation at fire-sale prices that will increase asset concentration toward the ultra-wealthy and plutocrats.

They are all hedged and we the citizens are not.

By virtue of the process above, Trump will be celebrated a success by the big money boys that really count.

Plus, after each crash they always use our money from profits to turn right around and design a new way to flim-flam the public into voting for them again.

KY rant done........
