[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 2716776, member: 56035"] Anti-establishment is kind of a joke," Chomsky concluded. "Take a look at Trump and take a look at who's appointed for the cabinet." Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, for example, "comes from [B]Goldman Sachs[/B], a major investment firm where he was for almost 20 years," Chomsky observed. "What's anti-establishment?" he asked. "This [cabinet] is drawing from [B]the billionaire class, largely financial institutions, and military[/B] and so on; in fact, take a look at the stock market, that tells you how anti-establishment he is." "As soon as Trump was elected, and since, stock values in financial institutions escalated to the sky," he said. Investors are "delighted he's going to eliminate regulations, let them make more profit; of course,[B] it'll lead to another crash, but that's somebody else's problem. The taxpayers will take care of that."[/B] [URL="http://www.alternet.org/economy/noam-chomsky-makes-prediction-us-economy-no-one-can-afford-dismiss"]Noam Chomsky Makes a Prediction for the U.S. Economy No One Can Afford to Dismiss[/URL] [/QUOTE]
