Most public conservatives are not conservatives.
It’s part of the Long March Through the Institutions — George Will, David Brooks, Charles Krauthammer, etc. They are the face of Conservativism, and they are just not Conservatives.
Isn’t it wonderful what these economic experts have done for us?
We really need more of their wonderful ideas.
Trump:
1. great on immigration
2. great on taxes
3. great with regulation reduction
4. great with foreign policy
5. terrible when it comes to free trade
I’m tired of pundits, economists, and so-called experts whose opinions are continually blabbered but rarely accurate on any subject. Better off talking to the local businessman, or the guys at the restaurant coffee table.
Sounds sensible to me. We've been a give away nation for far too long.
The “conservative” crybabies are going all out it seems.
I REALLY like a lot about Trump and his potential to rip up huge portions of the entrenched system, but this is worrisome.
Markets need stability, and Trump seems to think its ok to make up his own rules (e.g. fining a factory for overseas manufacturing, or slapping on international trade tarrifs).
Deals happen within a rule framework. He needs to understand the impact of changing the rules and the difference between the framework and the deal.
He clearly knows how to hire and trust good people. I hope he’ll hire some good Austrian economists.
——Trump appears willing to break those rules in the name of cutting better “deals” for American workers.——
Seems to me Trump is going to “change” the rules not “break” them...
How that is lost on the author is telling...
Should the Dems’s get the WH, I’ll bet Chubby NORK would be invited to a WH dinner; most likely to leave with a doggie bag.
Free trade does not mean our technology is free. How come no one ever paid us for our manufacturing know how cultivated over 100 years
Austan Goolsbee, a University of Chicago economist who once chaired President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers.
Sounds to me like he is probably not conservative in the least. Also Donald floated something that a businessman would and could employ, but is just not realistic for our government to do. Much ado about nothing, but it once again has the press talking about Donald Trump, and they will all be clamoring to ask him about it. Of course he will just say that he wasn't really serious. He may even hold on to it for awhile sating that it is a consideration.
They still haven't figured out how Donald Trump gets so much free airtime and saves his money for when it is important to be spent. I love it.
Wow!!! O. K. I will go out and vote for Hillary. A-hole!!
Stopped reading at the stupid “Immigrants from Mexico” crap.
More like invaders.
Not concerned about international laws on economics. We dont need products from china.
So, if we change the laws and treaties, these people are perfectly fine with everything.
What’s the problem, again?
Don’t you just love the oracles of the internet that offer to share their wisdom with the rest of little people.
Because what we’ve been doing has worked so well?
What do the conservative economists say about Reagans use of tariffs?
Suddenly lots of faux “conservatives” are coming out of the woodwork. It reminds me of all the times leftist radical Democrats would speak before a camera and start by saying, “As a lifelong Republican, I...”
Truthfully, I don’t think they really cared that a day or two later, someone would identify them as Democrat precinct chairmen or something. Because they knew the media would tout their soundbite, and ignore the truth later.
But in the long run, it needs to be noted that both the leftists and the RINOs realize that conservatives really are the majority, which is why that have to pretend to be one of them.
They knew that if they started out their speech by saying, “I am an internationalist socialist”, or “I am an internationalist corporatist”, that nobody would want to hear anything they said, because most of the public know that both groups are anti-American scum.
