Wow...what a pile of learned professionals! These are NOT the people you want advising you on economic growth. In fact, this is exactly OPPOSITE of what such a board should look like.

After I posted the two articles from Gavin Newsom’s Governor’s website today, I get the feeling he prepared some documents to pave the way for a presidential or VP run based on how the Democratic Caucus in Nevada went - or how the Dem ticket is shaping up.
Suddenly, the day the NV caucus showcased Bernie, Newsom releases a plan for homelessness that starts by touting his economic record, the size of CA’s economy (11th largest in the world) and sneers that Trump is taking credit for what California has done to produce jobs. Then he creates an economic council like Trump. Is Trump his 2020 adversary?
I guess Newsom could run as VP or run as an independent Presidential candidate - seems like he may have been given the nod or is just preparing anyway in case he’s called in. This was probably anticipated by Trump as he recently emphasized the filth and homelessness in CA (e.g., SOTU).
We live in interesting times....

one of the “economic advisors” doesn’t even pretend to know economics
