After The Billionaires Decide That Trump-Vance Were A Big Mistake

and Democrats are left to do what they always have to do after Republicans have wrecked the economy, fix it,  there's one thing that we have to remember

WE DON'T OWE WALL STREET OR SILICON VALLEY ANYTHING.   BAILING THEM OUT COMES LAST, THEY CAN RISE AFTER THE LEAST AMONG US, THE WORKING POOR AND THEN THE MIDDLE CLASS ARE RESCUED.

It was one of the worst things about the Obama administration that they wasted the best hand a Democratic President had been given in a half-century on the policies of his elite economic advisors and officials and his first Chief of Staff.  NONE OF THEM SHOULD BE  TRUSTED BY A FUTURE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT, IF THERE IS EVER ANOTHER ONE.  

Even if, as some are predicting, Trump is prevented from doing the massively stupid thing he promised, start a tariff war with China and Europe and our closest neighbors, his other policies, fueled by the racism of Republican-fascism will sink the economy.   Vance and the billionaire tech bros will do it if, as I'm sure they're hoping, the idiot dies in office.   

I wouldn't trust anyone with the pedigree of a Timothy Geithner or a Lawrence Summers. really,  no one from the Ivys or their equivalents.   Those have been the nursery of corporate oligarchic fascism and the "progressive" accommodation of that which is, actually, what the Obama administration was.   Just as I wouldn't trust campaign advisors and staff who have lost elections, I wouldn't trust such insider nest-featherers to do what needs to be done to save American democracy BY EXTENDING IT INTO EGALITARIAN DEMOCRACY.   The Ivys and the like are the training grounds of oligarchs and those who will be their well-paid, devoted servants.
