Bill O'Reilly Economic idiot.
Bill Oreilly Show ^ | 2/5/16 | self

Posted on 02/05/2016 5:24:49 PM PST by central_va

It's disappointing that a national news commentator is so ignorant of basic economics. Then again this is BOR that I speak off. In a "gotcha" cheap shot attempt BOR tried to get Donald Trump to say taxes need to be raised to help with the deficit.. The Donald, much to his credit, tried to explain and educate that a robust economy will increase revenues dramatically. It is a basic concept that BOR can't seem to understand. Raising taxes actually decreases tax revenues because most economists believe the USA's federal tax rates are on the right side of the laffer curve inflection point. Then again BOR is probably incapable of even grasping what an inflection point actually means.....

It would have taken Trump years to drill a clue into Ted Baxter’s head.
Ted is a buffoon.
end of story.

Did either of them discuss reducing spending? Or is that topic not even on the table anymore?

Yes Trump said it over and over but BOR just ignored him and wanted to get the Donald to say he wanted to raise taxes. BOR’s little trap failed.....

Trump has the cash to take out ANY member of Congress.

Just saying.

The marxist press in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA has the following in store:

Not that BOR has anything to worry about, Trump likes him.

All enemies foreign and domestic are in for an UNPRECEDENTED rash of BLANK!!.
