So Trump goes Keynesian.

Wow, that leaves me speechless and as a Trump supporter, confused.

This is quite a flip on a very basic economic principle, and now this election doesn’t matter as much to me.

This is purely strategic in my view.

The Dems were getting ready to go after him as Mr. Moneybags from the Monopoly board. This is going to cut the legs right out from under that strategy.

I hate to be the one to say it, but the number of people who believe in traditional supply-side economics in this country is now a minority. Too small to win elections by themselves. Trump is trying to lure some blue-collar Dems to his side, and those folks want the government to tip the playing field in their direction.

We have a long, hard 20 year slog re-educating the public ahead of us if we want to reverse this.

And Reagan came in and rejected Keynes policies. And the economy boomed.
I remember my 400 level college econ professors screaming at the time; how stupid Reagan was.
