A trickle down, sugar high, deregulated, debt based economy.

Tick, Tick, Tick. It is inevitable, in time something will go seriously wrong with this type of economy, it always does. We need that time to come before the election. That is the one thing Trump would pay a big price for.

I am not an expert on economics, however I was one of the few people in this country that saw the 2008 collapse coming and I took action to protect myself. I saw it coming simply by paying attention. It wasn't one thing that convinced me, it was a series of things.

Rising federal debt, personnel debt of the people, wealth divide, deregulation, tax cuts for the rich. Another thing I have learned over the years is, a rising stock market, low unemployment numbers will not warn you of big economic problems that are coming. They warn you when the problems hit.

Under Trump all of this has been put back in place and to make things worse, corruption is off the charts. You can't measure corruption, there are no charts for corruption. When Trump became president it was like open season for every corrupt business, every corrupt asshole in America. Come one, come all. Got a corrupt idea, call Trump.

I believe Trump has been using the office of the president as an insider trading office. I don't believe we know half of all the corruption that has taken place.

One day the bill will come due and we will all have to pay. I want it to happen this year, before the election.
