When the Invisible Hand is Visible (John Heelan, -UK, 07/05/17 11:48 am)

John E asked me on July 4th: "Isn't the Invisible Hand supposed to be...invisible?"

Only until arrogance makes the Hand visible. One would hardly call capitalist "invisible hands" of Trump, his cronies and supporters "invisible" as the Orange One becomes more arrogant on domestic and world stages.

JE comments:  There's no shortage of arrogance in Washington these days, but has Trump had any real effect on the economy?  What, beyond the Trump Bump that flattened out in March, has changed as a result of Trump policies?  Not even for-profit prisons have shown much life of late.
