"that doesn't mean he would be a great steward of the US economy."Stein does have a point...
The US economy is vastly complex and multifaceted...
Vastly more complex because the government keeps sticking it's nose it the way it functions...
I do trust Trumps gut far more than Stein baseline knowledge...
I'm also sure Trump will bring in the best and brightest to help him...
I'd like to hear Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams take on Trump and economics ...

Here's all you need to know about Ben Stein's "understanding" of economics: He attacked Art Laffer and publicly insulted Reagan both for Supply-Side Economics and deregulation. He applauded Nixon for wage and price controls and for increased regulation of business and economic affairs and for several new Cabinet-level bureaucracies that Nixon created that are increasingly used to destroy both basic and economic liberty.
His father was one of Nixon's closest economic advisors. If anyone is an economic ignoramus, it's Ben Stein.

If all Trump does is allow business to be business, he doesn’t need to be a great steward.

Yeah right Stein...and you raised your billions how??? Not from the ground up like Trump did, that’s for sure...
Stupid idiots think they matter...American Voters have already made up their minds...you notice that Trump is the only candidate left in the R party in the primary mode, but the Butcher of Benghazi is still fighting off her foe...Trump had 16 of them, and here she is with Bernie and can’t get rid of him....how the heck is that witch going to run America....she isn’t because Trump will be the next POTUS!!!

I am disappointed that Ben Stein thinks that Hillary knows about economics She has to know something about economics, otherwise how'd she sell state secrets to the Chinese?
To: Innovative
Ben Stein should stick with comedy. His economic theories are total bunk.

Yeah, Ben, Trump is really dummy. He hasn’t been in charge of a multinational corporation for a number of years...oh, wait, yes he has....
really sick of the media trying to divide. and sick of the conservatives “B list” crowd trying to make book on it.
Hitlery is a disaster. Worse than Trump.
Get it through your thick skulls.

We don't need any Free Traitors™ or Keynesians "helping" President Trump. Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams are not Keynesians adherents...
Not sure why you think they are...
As for Free Traders, I'd do my own research..
