Man! I miss this guy. If "genius" is the ability to take common sense solutions and explain them in a way where even your critics have to agree with you, then Laffer is a genius. This is an absolutely wonderful video.

“He supported Clinton over Bush/Dole I do believe.”

In retrospect, he was correct at least in terms of economic policy.

Back in High School I read Milton Friedman’s book Free to Choose. He explained inflation and how to fix it. Reagan had a plug for the book inside. That is when I figured Reagan would beat inflation and he did. Unlike Carter , Biden’s destruction of America is deliberate. That is why China picked him for us.

Under Carter he had price fixes which is backward. Let the market do it's thing. Similar to what this guy says about money.

Simple. Allow people to drill for oil. Energy prices is the bases of our economy. From the costs to produce a product and to transport it. It effects every aspect of our economy.

It's always government that creates this kind of inflation. Carter was an idiot. Biden's people are doing it intentionally

High spending plus low taxes equals high deficits, but voodoo economic kool aid drinkers don’t get it.

I haven’t watched FoxBiz since the stolen election.

Good to know that Larry Kudlow is doing okay.

The Laffer curve is a good example of taking something complicated and turning it into something very easy to understand.

A lot like Rush used to do.

Art made a brilliant decision. He moved from California to Tennessee.
I think he had a good bit of “work” done on his face and dyes his hair.

But.....

He was a contributor on Fox News and just last week he had a very good interview with Gretta VanSustrand on her 6:00 NewsMax show.

I really like him. He lacks all pomposity and lays it all out as it really is. Check out Greta at 6:00 and Art will I’m sure show up again.

Everyone should have known as soon as Biden started surrounding himself by Obama’s evil minions. Joe Biden is not, and has never been presidential material and now everyone knows it. Biden couldn’t run anything by himself.
