| Many months ago I ran across an excellent YouTube about Ichan's perspective on the shaky economy and perilous financial situation the country is in. Well worth a listen (15 minutes). The title of the You Tube is Carl Icahn... Danger ahead. |

In a wide-ranging interview on CNBC Wednesday afternoon investor Carl Icahn weighed in on the economy, Donald Trump's presidential campaign and his speech on the economy, the future of the dollar, why the American worker should vote for Trump and much more. Icahn said Trump's speech on the economy was "right on" and he should win "hands down." He also said Trump will appeal to the Archie Bunker's of the world.
"I think it's extremely important for this country to see Trump win," he said. "I have nothing against Hillary Clinton. You know, I'm not going to get into personal thing about her. I said that several times about my PAC. I'm not getting into personalities."
"I look at things simply and I made a lot of money just looking at simple truths," Icahn said Tuesday. "This is a simple truth. We have a massive problem and Donald is addressing it. The Democrats are not. Donald gave a speech that was to my mind right on about it. And if he sticks with that economic theme, he should definitely win hands down because I don't know why you wouldn't vote for him."

Yea the man who has destroyed so many lives with his dismantling of companies....
Uh, companies that can’t compete will NATURALLY be “destroyed”. Welcome to free market.
He spared the “Beast”. Oh well, maybe he is worried he will end up like Seth Rich.
This entire diatribe was to frame this one single sentence.
What a total asshat who is about as clueless as a brainless jellyfish. He must be a dem or RINO to speak like this.
Me too. We remain in support of Donald, but it’s good to be joined by some of the big money men. They have a lot of influence on those still undecided.
Plus we need to have billionaire voices who can tell Warren Buffet of Golden Sacks where to stuff it.
I agree, but he could have done without the Archie Bunker reference.
$100 says you have never run a business in your life.

Who do you think Trump’s silent partner is
Schumpeter called it “creative destruction”; and said it’s the main reason capitalism works better than all the other economic systems.
As for breaking up companies: most were ready to crumble. What Icahn did was find value hidden in the trash. Decades ago, conglomerations were the big business fad. Vertical or horizontal integration was supposed to lead to synergies and economies. Often, things didn’t work out that way. The parts worked better than the whole; so companies were broken apart to save the best parts of them.
It’s great that we’ve got Archie on our side as well!
