I don’t care about the president as much as I care about the people he/she surrounds themselves with. No person on this earth is an expert on everything. surround yourself with the best people and you will be successful.
If it weren’t for Farris Bueler, Ben would be working for H&R Block.
Ben inherited allot of money and after getting his law license he went into law and writing and mostly made his money in Hollywood acting in commercials and doing paid speeches.
Trump inherited allot of money, but he made it into a whole lot more, soo...., no economic knowledge, Check!
The big problem i have with free traitors is that they mostly put the cart before the horse in terms of lowering domestic regulations and domestic taxes and want “free trade at any cost “ first before any domestic streamlining is done to keep us competitive.
“I don’t care about the president as much as I care about the people he/she surrounds themselves with. No person on this earth is an expert on everything. surround yourself with the best people and you will be successful.”
I agree completely and have confidence that Trump will indeed find the best people for the particular jobs to indeed “make America great again.’
I wasn’t comparing him to Trump. Ben does have an economics and a law degree and gives investment advice, but I don’t really agree with any of his stances. He likes high taxes and importing cheap labor, etc., so no wonder he thinks Hillary knows more about economics.
Okay ... not a problem. I always wonder when liberals stick up for other liberals as to their education etc etc.
Every “modern” economist is a Free Traitor™.
Stein backed Obama.
