this is strategic. he is not saying anything so that nobody can bring it back to him in 4 years. he sees that washington is hard to change.
but what he would do in the mean time is cut regulation/taxes for corporations and large businesses. freeing them up to have a free-for-all on the backs of the middle class. will it make the economy better, probably. will it increase the quality of life of the regular people, probably not.
what I am worried about. a political party itching to go to war.
