the republicans run the economy and have ruined the country for most working /blue collar americans, who upto the early 1980`s were sitting quite pretty with a high standard of living , good job prospects and secure working conditions - bush junior their last puppet allowed the bankers and their friends to defraud and to "peddle" toxic financial derivatives which ultimately precipitated the last worldwide financial meltdown of 2006 onwards - Deregulation of the economy, financial, essential and service industries has ruined the lives of many working people both over there and also in the UK - when america catches a cold, the rest of the world sneezes so its said
Earlier this year I went back to the USA for a few weeks, first time since the early 1980`s, and was unpleasantly surprised to see the devisive nature of everday life for many there
Trump is a divide and rule operator, Clinton may not be much better, but the lesser of the 2 evils
That was started by Clinton when he brought pressure on the financial institutions to allow millions of Americans to buy the homes they rented. The small fact that many of them would never be able to pay their mortages, didn't seem to figure to highly, until it it all unravelled.
The UK should have been almost immune from the effects, but we had a decade of Gordon McRuin, the worst Chancellor in memory.
He had phenomenal tax recipts coming into the Treasury, due to the biggest economic boom of our lifetime, but not only did he waste every penny of it, he borrowed previously unheard of amounts of money and wasted all of that too.
He doubled the NHS budget and made it worse, he went berserk with the PFI initiative to build lots of new hospitals which wouldn't have to be paid for until he had long gone - cynical doesn't begin to cover it, and of course he sold the nations gold reserves at the bottom of the market.
He told the bankers to brush off any criticism and carry on regardless, then when it all went tits up, he pointed his finger at those same bankers.
