Raw Story article, with VIDEO, of what Krugman said on CNN this evening

[Prosper]

1. It didn't start with Trump .

From the OP:
“Institutions depend upon the willingness of people to obey norms, and occasionally to say, okay, ‘this is not how we do things in our country,'” Krugman said. “This didn’t start with Trump there’s been a steady erosion of those norms. This has been building for a long time, and we’re very close to the edge right now.”

It started as retribution for FDR. Every conceivable law to make transferring of wealth cheaper, faster and easier for the upper 1% was passed. The crowning achievement of greed was the 2000 Commodities Futures Modernization Act. Unopposed. Krugman is right but who is going to turn it???? Or benign status quo wins. Trump is confusing poverty with surrender. His artificially stimulated tax cut economy is on dangerous ground . Record setting stock prices without reciprocating valuation is an axiom for recession and correction.
