(17,663 posts)Politically, financially we will not invent a New Deal. There will be changes to the present Deal. There would be targeted attempts to improve equality that will possibly be implemented after a struggle. There will not be huge revolution because the competing interests will be huge. Winners and losers, and not just the rich could lose. I.E,
Walmart raises pay...then cuts jobs, get it?
My advice is you get educated, take all promises from anyone with a grain of salt, increase your saving and self-sufficiency as much as possible, help those in need, and never vote Republican or try destroy any Democrat you don't like, because, by far, they will try to pass along some improvement if they can.
This is all bigger than just domestic politics...look at the migrant issue in Europe, going on now. A very expensive problem that wii be hard for those mixed economies to deal with. Most have already had to move away from cradle to grave bennies...
Sanders people need to get their brains out of their butts if they think he can solve huge problems by mobilizing the masses...the lower income/education folks are working
a few jobs and are dropping from exhaustion...and they've heard it all before...
