I'm calling it now, but you won't actually see a recession until after he leaves office. The rich and powerful control the market and it has no actual real indicator to the effects a majority of people are seeing in their personal lives.
- mgamache 7y agoThat supposes the rich and powerful give a rip about trump. They don't. If anything, they don't like his unpredictability. But, I don't think it's really tied to a person or party. For example, Obama provided the wall street bailout.
- kart23 7y agoI just thought of a horrifying thought. Bernie becomes president, recession hits inauguration day. Banks start to fail, but he doesnt bail anyone out because 'bernie cant be bought'. At least obama did the right thing and saved the economy.
- techntoke 7y agoI think Bernie and Warren are perfectly capable to work within the constructs of a free market than most people give them credit for. However, that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be transparency involved and if bankers begin manipulating the markets to try to control politics then they should be brought in for a public investigation in front of congress.
- davinic 7y agoThe rich and powerful will continue to do what they always do: act in their own personal interest. If they decide they can make more by divesting from the market, you can bey they will. There is no monolith.
