Economic expert and best-selling author David Stockman offers a dire view of the deep financial trouble America faces in his new book titled\u00a0\u201cTrumped!\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Stockman warns, \u201cI think we are on the very edge, but what is different this time and makes it scarier . . . is I believe the central banks that ruled the roost have gone from one extreme to the next and done unfathomable things like negative interest rates on $13 trillion of bonds around the world, monetization of the debt, and bond purchases that are staggering such as $90 billion a month in Europe. . . . So, this time, as the phrase goes, they went all in.\u00a0 They have violated every principle of sound money and sustainable finance that mankind has ever learned about over many centuries.\u00a0 They have taken us to the edge, but they are out of dry powder.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s pretty obvious that they can\u2019t go any deeper with subzero interest rates, or negative interest rates. . . . If they tried this in the United States, I think there would be a huge political uprising. . . . They are out of dry powder and out of tools, and therefore, the financial markets of the world are more vulnerable, maybe even more so than in 1929.\u00a0 You are talking about a bond bubble like never before imagined or conceived, and the stock market is the same way as well as derivatives.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span>All this financial malfeasance and engineering was fantastic for the one percent, but everybody else got the shaft. For example, Stockman points out in \u201cTrumped!\u201d the last 30 years \u201cThe top 1%\u2019s wealth has grown by 300%, and the top \u201cForbes 400\u201d wealthiest people in the world had their wealth grow by a staggering 1,000%.\u201d\u00a0 Meanwhile, the \u201cbottom 90% of Americans have seen their wealth steadily deteriorate.\u201d<\/p>\n
