"Killing
Obama administration rules, dismantling Obamacare and pushing through
tax reform are on the early to-do list." See link below.
If
one reads the link below one will see how much -- the middle class,
minorities, the poor and many others who are among the unlucky ones to
suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune -- have to lose. The
Trump presidency with their Congressional Republican majorities is
poised to pass devastating legislation obliterating decades of
hard-fought-for-programs and enacting massive tax cuts for the 1% unless
the usually spineless Democrats in the minority can muster
unusual-for-them explosive opposition. This time, however, President
Obama will not be there to veto but a Trump presidency will be there to
sign it.
Ultimately, over years, the national debt
will balloon to trillions more as the fantasy of trickle down economics
lives up to the progressive indictments of it. It will fail but the
richest 1%, of course, as the last 2007 Great Recession proved, will not
suffer. In fact, they will gain. The middle class will be devastated
the most as it shoulders yet again the burden of another Great Recession to come
or even a revisit to the 1929 Great Depression. Regressive time travel
is Trump and his Republicans' recipe for progress but it will not be
progress for the middle class and the worker. It will be a Mar-a-Lao
table of opulence set for the top 1% and we will be their servants or we will be dead and who will care?
I
fear the protests against Trump's hateful policies we saw after his
election will stop or significantly slow just as Occupy Wall Street did
because it is hard to keep momentum of that especially in the cold
winter months. Legislation will pass that is devastating to the middle
class and the poor but euphoria to the top 1% richest. This nation, at
least part of it, has elected the single most ugly and the single most
destructive elements to power who will devastate those who have little
and will fall like a ton of bricks on the immigrant, persons of color,
the poor and anyone else who is considered a minority or the other.
Brace
yourself even though the other is truly the majority who voted for
Hillary Clinton by a projection of 2 MILLION popular votes. We are the mandate but lost
our power to the machinations of the outdated and archaic electoral college.
Internationally, this nation is now and will be the feared among
nations as The Greatest Generation fades into history and a new era --
The Generation of Hate -- emerges.
