A interesting quote.........which does explain things to a extent. Clarifies that at least a fair portion of the oft derided populism is in truth and in realty reasonable and rational and a response to ill governance......
“I listened to (Hank) Paulson and (Ben) Bernanke and spent your money to bail out the guys who created the instruments in the first place, which is an absolute political disaster,” .......... “You wonder why populism is on the rise. It starts with taking taxpayers’ money and giving it to the powerful. It really irritated a lot of Americans, and they haven’t gotten over it yet. That’s just part of it; there’s a lot of other reasons why. But we’ve had candidates say, ‘You’re mad, I’m going to make you madder.’ As opposed to, ‘You’re mad, I have some solutions to make you less mad.’ We’re kind of in the madder stage, where people are exploiting the anger as opposed to dealing with it like leaders should.”
