Sorry, the empirical evidence indicates quite the opposite. That's as silly a statement as the simpletons who say something like, "well, he must be smart -- he has a British accent." Just because Krauthammer talks like an elitist New England snot does not change the facts that he is a Gramscian Marxist and is dumber than a box of rocks.
Krauthammer has simply parroted the RINO establishment on manipulated anti-American "Free Trade" and globalist commie economics; and if you haven't noticed, our economy is in bad shape, our national debt is approaching $15 Trillion, unemployment is at record highs.
These problems did not just start with Obama; this is a culmination of communist, anti-American policies under GHWB, Clinton, GWB, and Obama.
>> “our national debt is approaching $15 Trillion” <<
.
Actually 64 trillion, if you include all obligations. The 15 trillion is just the bond debt.
Krauthammer is smart, Harvard MD, articulate, great writer. Just because he’s for free trade, as you seem to imply, doesn’t mean he’s stupid.
But, on the other hand, I detest his liberal, libertine, elitist, arrogant views toward social conservatives.
