On
Monday, Donald Trump unveiled his much anticipated and long waited economic
“plan” that was, as everyone could guess, wasn’t much of a plan.
After
being advised for a week from an elite billionaire team of advisors (including
six guys named Steve), Trump had little to show for his efforts.
In
what cleverly disguised as a plan to benefit the middle and low class who have
been left behind, one didn’t have to look too hard to see what it was: a
gift bag of benefits for the rich and the most powerful corporations.
And there is one person who is the perfect watchdog to pick apart Trump and his absurdities, the person who truly gets under his skin: Elizabeth Warren.
Taking
to Twitter, Warren knocked some truth into what is being hailed as Trump’s
“comeback” in the campaign:
.@realDonaldTrump‘s econ plan was
written by rich corporate insider advisors to make the economy even greater for
rich corporate insiders.

“Cut regulations
massively,” @realDonaldTrump?
No rules & no accountability means people get ripped off & markets blow
up. Remember 2008?

A “moratorium” on agency regulations means stopping new rules on shady
payday lenders & too-big-to-fail banks, @realDonaldTrump.

Who rules, @realDonaldTrump, too many huge banks juiced profits by cheating
ppl on mortgages, credit cards, etc, then crashed our economy.

Cheating customers & gaming the system might be your business, @realDonaldTrump, but it’s not the
way America is going to do business.

And taxes? @realDonaldTrump wants billionaires & giant corps to pay
EVEN LESS – so there’s less money for ed, infrastructure & research.

Even @realDonaldTrump‘s childcare plan gives billionaires w/ a nanny a tax
break while millions of low-income households get nothing.

.@realDonaldTrump‘s economics plan is all about helping rich guys
like Donald Trump get richer – & leaving everyone else behind.

The American people aren’t dumb, @realDonaldTrump. We don’t trust you
with our nuclear codes AND we don’t trust you with our economy.

Classic
Elizabeth Warren, being the lioness in the Senate who looks out for the average
Joe.
The
fact that any Republican can call for a moratorium on the regulations that
protect consumers (to make sure the crash of 2008 wouldn’t happen again) is
insulting to every American.
From
George W. Bush’s push to privatize Social Security, to Paul Ryan’s Medicare
budget, to Trump’s new economic plan, Republicans have been trying to dupe,
cheat and weaken the American middle class.
Luckily
we have politicians like Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren who will call out
the economic fallacies being peddled by the extreme right.
