Roberts was an architect of supply-side economics while Carter was still in office. Both the Kemp-Roth cuts of 1978 and Reaganomics bear the imprint of Roberts' work. He was far ahead of the curve then, and now is being dismissed as a dope by people who readily defend the economic policies that he had a major role in creating.

Roberts is a dope because he thinks, and says as much in this article for this thread, that lowering the value of the Dollar, which makes U.S. exports cheaper and foreign imports more expensive, will kill the American economy.

As if buying fewer Chinese goods is going to screw the U.S. economy! Roberts is a dope for saying that, among other such rubbish.

Not a clever man; not even close.

When I was twenty I was built like a Grecian athlete. I'm afraid that isn't the case today.

Barry Goldwater was a Conservative of the first degree in 1964. He was a shell of one when he died.

No friend, many changes take place as one journeys through life, all of which are not beneficial to the preservation of our republic and Her sovereignty, which is paramout to our survival.

The Globalists be damned!
