Economic policy objectives (monetary and
fiscal) are meant to incentivize
domestic private business investment, which drives incomes and
the money multiplier effect, i.e. the engine of the economy. Economic policy
objectives have failed because
CEOs, the private capital allocators, simply cannot accommodate business
investment when the demand function is as weak as we currently find it, no matter how available and how
cheap the capital.

By Robert Parry,
In the end, Hillary Clinton became the face of a corrupt,
arrogant and out-of-touch Establishment, while Donald Trump emerged as an
almost perfectly imperfect vessel for a populist fury that had bubbled beneath
the surface of America.
There is clearly much to fear from a Trump presidency,
especially coupled with continued Republican control of Congress. Trump
and many Republicans have denied the reality of climate change; they favor more
tax cuts for the rich; they want to deregulate Wall Street and other powerful
industries – all policies that helped create the current mess that the United
States and much of the world are now in.
Further, Trump’s personality is problematic to say the
least. He lacks the knowledge and the temperament that one would like to see in
a President – or even in a much less powerful public official. He
appealed to racism, misogyny, white supremacy, bigotry toward
immigrants and prejudice toward Muslims. He favors torture and wants a giant
wall built across America’s southern border.

There are many sources of rage:
injustice, the destruction of truth, powerlessness. But if we had to
identify the one key source of non-elite rage that cuts across all age,
ethnicity, gender and regional boundaries, it is this: The Ruling Elite is protected from the destructive
consequences of its predatory dominance.
We see this reality across the entire political, social and
economic landscape.
If I had to pick one chart that
illustrates the widening divide between the Ruling Elite and the non-elites, it
is this chart of wages as a share of the nation’s output (GDP): 46 years of relentless
decline, interrupted by gushing fountains of credit and asset bubbles
that enriched the few while leaving the economic landscape of the many in
ruins.
To see graph open the page above
The Ruling Elite once had an
obligation to uphold the social contract as
a responsibility that came with their vast privilege, power and wealth (i.e. noblesse
oblige).
America’s Ruling Elite has
transmogrified into an incestuous self-serving few unapologetically plundering
the many. In their hubris-soaked arrogance, their right to rule is
unquestioningly based on their moral and intellectual superiority to “the
little people” they loot with abandon.
Rather than feel a responsibility to the nation, America’s Elite
views the status quo as a free pass to self-aggrandizement.
