2. The deregulation component of Trump's plans

may actually be what I find most frightening.

Deregulation and failure to regulate are the single biggest causes of the S&L crisis, the 2008 Great Financial Crash losses, the consolidation of media ownership, etc. etc.

We already live in a looting economy; I can't imagine how the harms to our pocketbooks, our health, and our planetary ecology might accelerate with further deregulation.
