Summers Heat Stroke? Economist Loses Noggin Nuggets Over Trump’s ‘2,000 Days of Death’
NewsBusters ^ | 7/7/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

Former President Barack Obama’s National Economic Council director has slipped from being the voice of reason on inflation to going full Cocaine Bear by screeching that President Trump was killing people with his economic agenda.

You can’t make this up.

Economist Larry Summers waved around a ridiculous Yale Budget Lab report to seethe July 6 to ABC’s This Week anchor George Stephanopoulos that Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) “will kill, over ten years, 100,000 people. That is two thousand days of death like we’ve seen in Texas this weekend...In my 70 years, I've never been as embarrassed for my country on July 4th.”

Yes, Summers actually exploited the tragic deaths of at least 90 people who were killed by the disastrous floods in Texas to score political cheap shots at the president and his allies. “Tone-deaf” doesn’t even begin to describe Summers’s insane argument. Of course, the smug lefty Snuffleupagus — er, Stephanopoulos — didn’t seem to mind, since he too tried to pin political blame on Trump for the Texas tragedy.

I thought liberals wanted depopulation to save the planet.

Does that include 100,000 deaths from Fentenal every year like during the Biden mis-administration?

Anything the Yale Budget Lab says is worthless. It is obviously a partisan disinformation outlet.

I will concede that there are funny things in there...my feeling is, if I am going to spend the time to watch a movie, I will try to get something out of it!
