Trump (and Sanders as well) are the inevitable result of obsessively contending orthodoxies neither of which offers actual solutions, but merely being pulled “three ways from the middle”. The economy is no longer functional and the prescriptions of orthodox economists and the disgusting ignorance and imagination of politicians will be of no avail. Here is a letter a Wallace K wrote to a politician in Canada that hits the nail right on the head:

Dear Tom,

Most assuredly, you do not have my support. The rational purpose of economics is not to create work but to create goods and services while rapidly eliminating labour as a cost factor of production through increasing efficiency. From this standpoint the only “good job” is a “dead job.” I mean to be just that blunt. Any nation that needs ninety-five per cent of its available work force to produce the needs, and wants, of its people must be functioning at stone-age efficiency. If a nation were to reach a position of requiring only ten per cent of its existing available work force, i.e., to reach a ninety per cent “unemployment” rate, it could, and should, then be enormously grateful for such a tremendous blessing—being so removed from the fear of scarcity.

Where do politicians derive the arrogant and errant notion or assumption that they are ordained to create work for their fellow humans so as to render society into a de-cultured human ant heap—a dispirited and disinherited charnel house? It derives from the Puritanical doctrine of Salvation through Works—the precise opposite of the Christian doctrine of Salvation through Grace. And whether or not one shares a belief in that particular religion It is the destructive policy that follows from the poisonous philosophy emanating from the Citadel of Finance—that agent of Mammon manifest by the international banking cartel clutching mankind by its strangling tentacles which encircle the earth in its death grip. And so we witness the fledgling “populist” NDP Government in the Province of Alberta seeking financial guidance from a former Governor of the Bank of Canada! It is, of course, well known that any significant Left revolution has almost always been facilitated by the assistance of International Finance.

Measures like “unemployment insurance” are just pathetic crumbs offered to the people, acting as a safety valve to dampen the likelihood of any popular uprising against the debt-imposed tyranny that has been foisted upon humanity by the enforcers of Puritanism through the instrumentation of fraudulent accounting and legerdemain.

My recent words to another correspondent: “So let’s fix it. Tell the politicians that the gig is up. We understand the fraud committed upon us by the age-old institutional system of legalized counterfeiting and its resultant grand larceny. The Banking System has appropriated the communal capital by means of its claim to ownership of the credit it creates to monetize the community’s wealth. We want it back in the form of falling prices, expanding incomes independent of any earned–and increasing leisure. Give it to us or we will do our utmost to ensure that you will not be occupying a seat in Parliament after the next elections.”

Sincerely
Wallace K
