TRUMP'S POOPULISM PUZDER POOPZDER POOPSTER
At least Hitler had the integrity to serve, as he saw it, his constituency!
Another sign of a big time Kennedy Fallacy.
Kennedy, too, had pooped, almost immediately, on his lower class constituents, not just on the unions, and the mob.
Of course, Hitler had his Night of the Long Knives, questionable in terms of party or constituent integrity, but what is a little party cleaning up, among friends?

AND THE TRADE WAR CAME POPULISM, REAL AND PHONY
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/26/opinion/and-the-trade-war-came.html?emc=edit_th_20161226&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=37771084&_r=0
This is just the kind of article that has made economists like Krugman whipping boys on my blog.
It contains almost all of the ingredients I most detest about that profession, gathered into one tidy place. The one exception is his insight re Smoot-Hawley not have caused the Great Depression, but rather having been a consequence of it. This Smoot-Hawley causation theory has been an article of faith among American thinkers, think tanks, and economists ever since, a total chimera.
Who is his target audience?
Even you can find it, if you look closely.
I will spill the beans: Corporate America. (This term, itself, is an artificial economists' choir boy, since as a result of economists' globalization ideology there are not really really big corporate America players which are not really, under the skin, mainly global entities in their goals and allegiance.)
It's that global readership that he accuses, tips his hand there really, is in denial. It is not average, or poor Americans, or even upper middle class ones. He refers to them. They don't know yet that they're being betrayed. He tells them, but he knows it doesn't matter. He hasn't thought of the Kennedy Fallacy yet; it is not in the economists' lexicon. It is really the big management boys he is speaking to here, not so called big labor; the Kennedy Fallacy is not up for discussion.
It is Global Corporatism that is his real audience, but he can't say that; he is still behind a mask.
Remember his recent post, Populism, real and phony?
Do you think he cared about the lower levels of society there, when he wrote it, that that was his audience there?
Do you think he cares about them here? An open question.
No, his target audience was the same one as here, but you must understand that it is global populism. He cares as little about the average, or below average, American as Putin or Trump do.
Krugman shines a light on one of the most enormous flaws in our constitutional system of government: the problem of too much authority over trade lodged in the Executive (amid not enough authority for the whole system in general.) Thank you Paul Krugman.
This has been one of my favorite themes here for years, trading American interests, Opening America's Market, etc. Thank you for confirming what I have been telling the few weird individuals who may nave read this for years.
"When it comes to trade, America is not that much of a superpower." PK
Whom do we have to thank for that?
Game over, smell the coffee.

WOULD SINATRA HAVE DOUBLECROSSED GIANCANA ON A KENNEDY CONTRIBUTION ATTRIBUTION?
Very very very unlikely.

KENNEDY A PROPOS DK CURRENT HEDGE FUND ECONOMY POST AND MY COMMENT
"Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." JFK
It had been mainly the dreamer Democratic boomer working class that had put him into office....
He screwed them right away.
What place is there for individual loyalty to institutions in such a system?
Trump has already become a byword for betrayal.

RE MAFIA KENNEDY CONNECTIONS
See interview w G Robert Blakey.
Sometimes the truth takes a long time to come out, if ever.
Also see National Geographic article, 2013.
Ragano's book is also required reading.
As a new business lawyer associate, my boss gave me an office next to Ragano's, 1984. Comical really. I had zero interest in organized crime, being mainly interested in civil litigation and trial work. I didn't even know, frankly, how notorious Ragano was. Of course I knew he represented underworld figures. My boss said he rented him an office because he felt sorry for him. I never had a significant conversation with him, but was polite in the building when we passed in the hall or lobby.
