While he still was a candidate, Donald Trump said:
“The level of hatred between Republicans and Democrats was unbelievable.
“The level of — I’ve never seen anything like it,” Trump said. “I’m going to unify. This country is totally divided. Barack Obama has divided this country unbelievably.
“And it’s all, it’s all hatred, what can I tell you. I’ve never seen anything like it…I’ve gotten along with Democrats and I’ve gotten along with Republicans. And I said, that’s a good thing.
“I will be a great unifier for our country.”

Yes, he has been “a great unifier for our country.” He has unified the intelligent, compassionate, and patriotic Americans in ways he never could have imagined.
Unified, they voted against his Republican Party in the last election, and one hopes they will remain unified for the next. Perhaps taking healthcare from millions of poor and middle-income Americans will be the glue.
Good job, Mr. President.

The most important problems in economics involve the excessive income/wealth/power Gaps between the richer and the poorer.
Wide Gaps negatively affect poverty, health and longevity, education, housing, law and crime, war, leadership, ownership, bigotry, supply and demand, taxation, GDP, international relations, scientific advancement, the environment, human motivation and well-being, and virtually every other issue in economics.
Implementation of The Ten Steps To Prosperity can narrow the Gaps:
Ten Steps To Prosperity:
2. Federally funded medicare — parts a, b & d, plus long-term care — for everyone
3. Provide a monthly economic bonus to every man, woman and child in America (similar to social security for all)
4. Free education (including post-grad) for everyone
5. Salary for attending school
6. Eliminate federal taxes on business
7. Increase the standard income tax deduction, annually.
8. Tax the very rich (the “.1%) more, with higher progressive tax rates on all forms of income.
9. Federal ownership of all banks
10. Increase federal spending on the myriad initiatives that benefit America’s 99.9%
The Ten Steps will grow the economy, and narrow the income/wealth/power Gap between the rich and you.
MONETARY SOVEREIGNTY
Award for the funniest line of the day goes to Mitch McConnell, when talking about Obamacare: “I look forward to seeing what the president is proposing and what he can work out with the speaker.”
Trump “proposing”??? Trump is so illiterate and policy-ignorant, he couldn’t propose a way to add three numbers, much less figure out a proposal for a complex healthcare plan.
And then he’s supposed to “work out” his plan with Nancy Pelosi??!
This was McConnell’s way of saying to Trump, “It’s all yours, big boy. You started this mess. Don’t expect me to clean it up.”
Trump is now praying that the Supreme Court votes against him, so he can go back to tweeting, without the need for deep thinking.
