For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.

Installation of a sycophantic Federal Reserve, which would lower rates, will likely drive the economy into stagflation, at the least. There are no fiscal or monetary policy instruments that can get us out of that, only time.

This now infamous photo of Trump and Epstein. It was 1999, and they were at a party for underwear models. 1992 shows them eyeing and pointing at cheerleaders at Mar-a-Lago. 1993 Epstein at Trump and Marla's wedding. These two child rapists go way back.
