Quote:Trump is a mixed bag who departs from some Republican neo-liberal shibboliths, but he's also neo-liberal to the max in his embrace of supply-side, trickle-down economics, including trashing the climate, and promises to stifle any reform of the "rigged system" of crony capitalism (which he says he's the only one who can fix because he's a crony capitalist) by appointing more Scalias to the Supreme Court. Citizens United guarantees no reform as long as it's the law.
Supply-side, trickle-down economics - like slamming on the door on immigration to create labor shortages that will send low-end wages into the ionosphere - then the semi-skilled demand a raise to maintain a differential, and after they get it, the highly skilled do the same - banning the outsourcing of jobs, and slapping tariffs on foreign-made goods?
Trump is a complete demand-sider - and an ardent advocate of trickle-up economics.
"These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation" - Justice David Brewer, Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 1892
