j reacts to clinton taking her open and transparent demagoguery up a level

i want to clarify what i said about this a while back, because it's floating around all over the place.

i said something like "the real issue with trump is that he'll bankrupt the country". now, if you put it into context, it's clear that what i was talking about was tax policy - that he'd slash taxes to almost nothing, thereby creating tremendous structural deficits.

that's not literal bankruptcy. it was just meant to suggest that you can expect that he'll carry on with the privatization of all the things, by continuing to reduce revenue sources down to nothing.

here, clinton is once again demonstrating the demagoguery that has defined her candidacy. a country cannot go bankrupt, and there is nothing of any value that can be gained in comparing running a country to running a business like a casino - except to confuse and mislead people.

these are conservative talking points designed to appeal to conservatives. and, get used to it. that's what this election is going to be like.
