Why Trump's economic policies get an F from real conservatives

[stevenkesslar]

I’m a Conservative Economist. Here Are 6 Reasons Trump’s Plans Won’t Work.

Even on their own terms, Trump’s economic promises defy logic.

 

That is far and away the best article I have read since Trump was elected about why his economic policies will not only fail.  Trump's policies don't even make sense.  And it's all written from the perspective of a conservative agenda.

There's a lot of whining about how Democrats are lost, and have no clue what to do about it.  Meanwhile, Democrats are now leading in the generic ballot by a few points.  So much for the death of the Democratic Party, which actually gained one House seat in 2024 while Trump won by 49.8 % of the vote.

I think the best choice, largely because it is the only choice, is for Democrats to just let the train race toward the brick wall it is headed to.  The deficit will get a lot worse.  Budget hawks will gasp in horror.  The rich will get richer, and fat cat tax cuts will help.  We may have a recession.  They will whack away at Medicaid that hurts working class Trump supporters.  And this won't bring back the millions of manufacturing jobs America lost while a Republican, George W. Bush, was President and pushing a free trade agenda.

Let them eat economic misery that they are creating.

Hey, come on. 

I'm not into prestige or names or fancy destinations.

I'm a romantic.

I want the Golfer of America.
