My assessment of this election outcome can only be expressed by way of an analogy: I'm thinking of someone who eats an unhealthy diet and becomes sicker, but does nothing until he or she has a heart attack. This electoral outcome is America having a heart attack. I can only hope that it will usher in a lifestyle change.

Stupid people who thought they knew more than experts thought it would be fun to shake things up, like the economy was a television game show. Others were so self-righteously smug and full of principle they thought it would be fun to vote for third party candidates, at the expense of the only qualified candidate. Who cares if billions are lost when markets decline? Who cares if you have retirement investments? Who cares if there is a recession and you need a job? Who cares if you lose health care? Who cares about climate change and the Paris agreement? You think nothing has changed with the House, the Senate, and the presidency being under one party, when literally no legislation can be vetoed? There was no second great depression. No credible economist thinks that with decreasing unemployment and market gains. You need a reality check. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
