The GDP is a monetary measurement of all goods and services "produced" by a nation over a given period. It's the 'host' while wealth distribution (GDP per capita) is the 'parasite' ("takers") sucking the life out of the "makers" eventually the host will die or become a 'taker' too.
Trump promised to make more makers which is what made/makes this country great. People actually do want to work and make a better life for themselves and their family.
Clinton made promises to give the takers more. The takers currently outnumber the makers and have never actually participated in the process of making - anything but another taker.
While they may be unhappy with the results they will ultimately be better off - at least for awhile longer. If the election is changed now at this point and before Trump is sworn in and assumes office...things are only going to go from mild disappointment to wild speculation on the future of America.
Part of me is hoping for the latter.  |
Good analysis ODT! As to the recount, HRC has joined in support of the effort and I smell George Soros all over this. My fear is that Ret10Echo is correct and you may realize the latter.
