Only an idiot would put steel tariffs in place and restore the monstrous Welfare Farmer program. Pinheads like that aren't going to turn around an economy with a stupid speech.
Wimp II is more ethical than Sh%*head Clinton, but he's still a dolt - as demonstrated by his actions.
I've come to the same conclusion. Unlike Reagan, he is uncapable of presenting a clear economic agenda without checking with his pollsters and advisors. The word "puppet" comes to mind here.
Having said that, actions do speak louder than words, so I'm hoping to see him propose a 50% reduction in the capital gains tax, a 30% marginal tax cut for the producers in society, regulation reform, and a downsizing of unconstitutional government agencies. Effective ASAP, not "phased in" over a decade. That would reawaken our economy.
But what we'll probably see is him propose to appoint a commission on corporate fraud, and tell us how great the economy is. If he does propose a tax cut, it will likely be along the lines of some socialistic tax "rebate" for the parasitic lower classes.
I hope I'm wrong here, but I seriously doubt it.
