Could be true. I've heard from people who know him that his bark is not as bad as his bite in he's not a total asshole which is how he comes across.

Next to worthless organizations despite MASSIVE budgets.

EPA: How were they stupid enough to not test samples of each car for pollution with a probe in the tailpipe while driving around to see if their mandatory requirements were met? Volkswagen....

SEC:
  • Madoff..... no excuse.
  • Elimination of 12.5¢ bid spread so the HFTs can cheat the working person out of market returns. I understand the math and technique but don't have the skills to explain how they are doing it but you KNOW that they have the system gamed when they can find an order they can buy at one price then sell it to someone else at a penny higher before anyone else has a chance to step in and give a better price... Also, they make money by taking n to the limit of what I do trading around a core position... basically taking energy from the ocean waves... but they do it at such a large, efficient major that it reduces the waves and steals returns from LT index investors.

I also think our military is too large and we should charge some countries a fee for protection or let them buy arms from us (which many do in the ME) . I worry Trump would be so hated we'd need a bigger military since others wouldn't want to work with us... but maybe I'm wrong there and they'll respect strength.

He seems to have a clue about we need lower taxes on business and simpler tax forms and eliminate lobbying for tax dollars.... but.... we'll see if he could get any of it done.
