Trump's Central Planning Economic Revival Group to Include Condoleezza Rice, Jim Hoffa, Mark Zuckerberg and Sheldon Adelson


Well, crony America is going to come out just fine on the other side of the Great Lockdown.

So much for free markets.

President Trump has announced the crony executives, economists and scholars who will be part of the central planning group that will launch the post-Great Lockdown America. Trump is calling them the Great American Economic Revival Industry Groups.

As they say in Chicago, "If you are not at the table, you are on the menu."

You are not at one of these tables.

  1. Well, guess who articulated it first (maybe) and best.
    As Lew Rockwell would say, "N.B. adult language".

  3. Oh, big surprise that ADM is at the table. Those folks are, in my opinion, the crony's crony. That company couldn't survive without government feeding it.

  5. This is the list of those at the top of the Kleptocracy. This is a conspiracy to destroy all the competition while simultaneously give more capital and handouts to this club to dominate. No free market capitalism anymore. Its a kleptocracy and criminal.
