Truer words.......
The nation and the economy need another Ronald Reagan. Unfortunately such a one is very rare. Political savvy must be combined with managerial ability and an understanding of real adamsmith economics. Politicians, especially very successful ones are extremely rare because the personality required for the job is Dynamic and dynamic folks cannot be bothered studying something so boring and dry as Economics in colleege. Reagan had a degree in Economics. Fortunately that imprinted on his brain as he followed a career outside of professional economics and academia. Real economists, as opposed to MBAs and financiers, tend to work in academia and in corporations at jobs. They are not the sort to want to rule or to be president. If one is oriented toward Economics one is oriented away from participation in politics.
