Ruled by the Rich

Separate from all the other indescribable awfulness of Trump's cabinet selections, a recent letter to the editor in the Star Tribune (Nov. 30) put a new layer of abomination on it:

The total net worth of the officials in Biden's Cabinet was about $118 million. The estimated worth of Trump's current roster of appointees is $344.4 billion, more than the gross domestic product of 169 countries.

A signal of the end to growing the economy from the bottom up, and the middle out.
