People mock Trump for his ignorance of national debt. But what happened? It got put on the table both as a problem, and as one the solution to which it is possible to have conversations. This is not something they want. A small handful of people control our economy and could crash it tomorrow if they wanted. Think about this: people whose names we largely don’t know–other than figureheads like Janet Yellen–could drop America into a severe depression without warning, without authorization, and largely without traces of their interfering. Is that not a power to be checked? Is any system of checks and balances which relies entirely on the continuing and continuous good will and fidelity of the people running it a system of checks and balances AT ALL? We DON”T KNOW what the Fed does in full, so it can’t possibly be overseen, and even if it were, we have no means of telling them to do anything.
This ludicrous situation exists in plain sight, and people are too fucking stupid to see it, largely because they have been taught to believe that if it isn’t in the media, it doesn’t exist. That has never been true, and gets less true every year.
The other point I wanted to make was that if Bill Clinton was the first black President, Trump will be the first Jewish one. I know, of course, that he isn’t Jewish, but you’ll find his picture right next to chutzpah in the dictionary.
There is another actual Jew in the race, but if Hillary has to personally rip his heart out with her teeth to get the nomination, she will. The meaning of her entire life, everything she has done, all the lies she has told, and all the lives she has ruined, comes down to the next six months. If being Queen means never having to say you are sorry, she wants with every fiber of her being to be Queen.
