There is a logical underpinning to the Trump phenomenon, and it goes like this: In a crisis, people will pay anything to obtain security. If you want to sell them, you need to panic them so they don't notice that you are gouging them.
That has been the Republican approach to polit-economics for 50 years. Trump is just the denouement.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
