Honestly, after the 51 intelligence guys debacle, do they really think anyone is impressed any more with 72 of these, 194 of those, etc etc?

When was the last time the Nobel Prize for Economics DIDN’T go to a socialist?

During Trump’s first three years in office, the deficit increased but only a tad relative to GDP.

Trump continually criticized the Fed for not growing the money supply faster. But, the Fed deflected his criticism. Trump nominated two people to the Fed that the Senate rejected, presumably because they weren’t conservative enough on money.

During Trump’s fourth year, the COVID year, the deficit ballooned. But, Trump’s approach to COVID including the shutdown and paycheck protection, was a “bipartisan” policy. In Congress, it was supported more by Democrats than by Republicans. Most of the no votes to paycheck protection were from Republicans. Most of the early re-opening states were Republican.

The right-of-center includes anti-vaxers and others who criticize Trump’s handling of COVID as favoring big pharma and being too expensive. The left-of-center wanted the government to do even more than Trump did.

I myself think the COVID year shouldn’t be blamed on anybody but should be a lesson learned. Practically every government, left and right, in the democratic world has voted out (with UK next in a couple weeks). It was a disaster.

On tariffs, Trump renegotiated NAFTA (now USMCA), and got trade deals with Japan and South Korea through Congress. He raised a China-specific tariff but in conjunction with a trade deal with that country involving sale of American farm production to China. All things considered, this was a modestly pro trade track record.

What has Biden done in trade? He hasn’t brought any new trade agreements to Congress, and he has shifted from trade to “re-shoring” production esp. of chips. Biden has also shut-down the energy industry which has implications for trade.

And, what has Biden done regarding the deficit? He has moved to a permanent unsustainable deficit.

Now looking at the letter written by Stiglitz and signed by a total of 16 Nobel Laureates, it is said to be a criticism of Trump or of “Trump’s policies”, but it isn’t an endorsement of Biden’s policies.

While Trump’s policies impacting inflation aren’t the best, Biden’s are worse. And, if you take the COVID year out, Trump’s policies weren’t bad. They were o.k. The truth is, inflation wasn’t a problem when Trump was President.

If you further consider Republican policies impacting inflation, Trump + Republican control of Congress is much better than Biden + Democrat control of Congress.

Well, that just goes to show you that the Nobel Prize isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
