The Political Situation and a Biden Presidency
I’m going to keep this article short, just hitting a few of the high points—or low points—of the coming year. Which will, I’m afraid, set the tone for the whole decade.
As Yogi Berra said, “It ain’t over ’til it’s over.” But it looks as if a Biden/Harris regime will replace the Trump regime.
I’ve explained my very mixed feelings about Trump many times before. Whatever his faults, the people in control of the Democrat party are much more dangerous. To start with, they egregiously stole the US election.
The political situation guarantees chaos because the red people and the blue people actually hate each other, which is why I’ve talked about the possibility of a civil war over the last couple of years. It’s either that or a breakup of the US. Or a police state to keep a lid on the political pressure cooker.
As far as the economy is concerned, at this point, it hardly matters who assumes the presidency; the Greater Depression is absolutely baked in the cake. The creation of trillions of new currency units will only make it worse. Except possibly for the stock market over the short run, as people look for someplace to offload their dollars. You can expect violence. Germany in the ’20s, or Latin America cyclically, would seem to be good models.
