Trump?

This mess has been building for decades. Look at the great housing collapse of 2008. That was during Obama's term. Was Obama responsible for it? NO! I can't stand the phony officiousness of Obama, but there is plenty that he is truly guilty of, without me blaming him for things he didn't do.

The 2008 meltdown is still affecting our economy, even as we pile on more problems.

There are those who, when they screw up, immediately for someone to blame, rather than seek to understand what went wrong. As Al Capp said, "We have met the enemy, and he is us."

No doubt it’s been going on for decades and Trump has done some positive things. However Trump’s embracing of technocracy is very troubling to me. This digital police state is scary.

No disagreement from me. It's just not all Trump. The one, best cure is HUGE downsizing of the federal government. I think Trump is trying to do that, but I couldn't say for sure.
