poorly worded question. I would argue he knows EXACTLY what he is doing, and yes, he & his ilk are ruining the economy. This has been going on for over 100 years. Soft approach to total take over. Not a single shot fired. It started with taking care of old people, and orphans. Who could argue with that? now look what we have. Even with the massive waste and spending we have now, if you argue against it you're a heartless greedy selfish bastard. They won the cold war. It's all over. His election proves this.
