The thing I have to keep reminding myself is that we're not hearing what the econ people say, we're only hearing from what the lib press says they say. It's like when libs tell me what they think Trump said and then they end up admitting they never really heard T say it, but that it was just some NYT (mis)quote.
The smart econ folks I know have good things and bad things to say about Trump, Obama, and all leaders. Example, here's a list of a few of the good things Obama's done:
- extended the '03 tax cuts
- said marriage is between one man and one woman
- cut import taxes
- said we need to bring together all the good from people of all parties
- sent more troops to Iraq and still has 'advisers' there.
I could go on and on but my life would have to depend on it.
I wonder what the Market would be doing right now if Hillary had won - it seems to think there are some positive aspects of a Trump Presidency - unless they plan on pumping it up for a huge sell off at the turn of the year and this is the first time in a long time I have a more cheerful outlook about the viability.
