“I study a real discipline and not some pie in the sky economic theory that has failed the USA.”
BSEE is good, I applaud that education choice, but perhaps if you’d learned a bit more about macroeconomics, you’d find it easier to converse on the subject.
Also, if you had explored some of what you call the “pie in the sky” subject areas, such as philosophy, history of art, or macroeconomics, perhaps you wouldn’t have such a chip on your shoulder.
Have a nice day.
I find it very easy to “converse “ in economics. It’s you theoreticians that have a problem when faced with reality. It is a verifiable fact that the tariff helped the USA become the preeminent world industrial power and that the income tax(1913), which supplanted the tariff, was the beginning of the economic decline of the USA. Politics and economics are inextricably intertwined. But you’d disagree.
