deranged dictators sure love to inflict their fucked-up ideas about economics on the rest of us. Uncle Joe Stalin’s forced collectivization of farms led to massive famine — millions starved to death in Ukraine alone. (why the hell is it always Ukraine?)
then there was Mao’s economic clusterfuck known as the Great Leap Forward. historians aren’t exactly sure how many people died from it, but it’s generally thought to be somewhere between 15 to 55 million.
Donny Convict will probably never put up numbers like that — but that isn’t going to stop him from trying like hell. yesterday, Donny announced his

and yes, indeed — the markets freaked right out after the announcement. the Dow dropped off a cliff.

the Dow was down over 600 points yesterday, and as I’m writing this, it’s down another 600+ points this morning.
