    Return to the Gilded Age

    Bail out the rich.  Fail to regulate corporations.  Allow unconstrained corporate compensation agreements.  Do not facilitate unionization of workers.  Allow big corporations to control the media.  Make free trade more important than our manufacturing industries.  Ignore environmental priorities.  Keep taxes low.  Deficit spend on the military.  Constrain health care and infrastructure expenditures.

    And expect things to get better.
