The Fiscal Times<\/em> has the article Why Elizabeth Warren Trumps Obama\u2019s Economic Message<\/a>. You all scoffed when I wrote all this on my blog over the past few months.\u00a0 Will you continue to scoff?\u00a0 I know the issue you have.\u00a0 I have seen it over and over again in my career and not only for me.\u00a0 People never believe the experts they know personally.\u00a0 They can’t believe they actually know anybody personally who has a handle on what is going on or what to do.\u00a0 So, in industry, you just hire a\u00a0 consultant to tell your company the same thing\u00a0 you have been telling them for years.\u00a0 If the company pays the consultant enough money, then, and only then, does the message get through.<\/p>\n

Well here are a few tiny snippets from the consultant that I “hired” to speak to you on this blog.\u00a0 For the full message, you’ll have to read the full consultant’s report by clicking on the link above.<\/p>\n

Things could be different next time depending on the presidential matchup. Yet even a candidate as formidable as former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton may have trouble breaking through the lethargy or indifference of disgruntled middle class Democrats who have lived with wage stagnation for years.

\n\u201cThis analysis suggests that a good message to the middle class could potentially yield you a lot of votes,\u201d he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is why I have been such a strong supporter of Elizabeth Warren and other politicians who deliver the same message with the same urgency.\u00a0 This is also why I have been saying that Hillary Clinton would be a disastrous candidate.\u00a0 What would be even worse would be if Hillary Clinton actually got elected to be President.<\/p>\n

Personally financially, I would probably do OK if Hillary Clinton got elected.\u00a0 The 90% of the population that has less financial wherewithal than I have would continue to get hammered.\u00a0 If Elizabeth Warren or someone like her got elected, I might not do as well financially, but I would be able to sleep better at night by not having to worry about whether I will do well, or whether the stock market and the economy will crash instead.\u00a0 I would be more than happy to trade a little chance for huge profits for the assurance that I won’t have to be eating dog food to make ends meet in\u00a0 my retirement.<\/p>\n

And then there is the other worry I have.\u00a0 When the bottom 90% finally wake up to what has been done to them, and when they have so little left to lose that they decide to rebel, I will be lumped in with the crowd that they will come after with pitch forks.\u00a0 I can see myself as they lead me to the guillotine, “But just read my blog.\u00a0 You’ll see I have always been on your side and fighting for your welfare.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
