Bankster Henry Paulson attacks Trump from the right, says that HRC is closer to his agenda [View all]

[brentspeak]

Among other things, Paulson says that Trump's policies on trade and "entitlements" are too liberal, too close to Bernie. Therefore, Paulson encourages Republicans to instead support Hillary, who, he is confident, will continue Wall Street's trade agenda and who will "fix entitlements". (Note how Paulson describes "entitlements" and how they must be "fixed soon" or else! Bring back any memories?)

Looking past the November election, Paulson raised the specter of Trump in the Oval Office and slammed the businessman's proposals on entitlements and trade.

On entitlement programs, the ex-secretary said if they are "not fixed soon, they threaten our nation with a debt burden that would undermine the retirement security of young Americans and future generations."

"It doesn't surprise me when a socialist such as Bernie Sanders sees no need to fix our entitlement programs," he said. "But I find it particularly appalling that Trump, a businessman, tells us he won't touch Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid."

"We need to welcome rather than shrink from trade and economic competition," he wrote, noting Trump's unwillingness to engage in America's current trade agreements. "Trump calls our current trade deals 'disgusting, the absolute worst ever negotiated by any country in the world.' This is simply false."
