I have a hard time believing that many of my friends whom possess analytical properties really are as surprised as they claim. The result in the 2016 United States Presidential Election is an obvious reaction to a western world having lived on loaned funds for many a decade, leaving a burden of debt for future generations rather than accepting a more realistic pace of rising living standards. Over-optimism, gullibility and imaginative world views has replaced sober administration a long time ago, across the political spectrum. This is the hair of the dog. It will last much longer than if politicians on both the left and right had been more truthful in the first place.
