I disagree with you on trade and Smoot Hawley - and your “scripture among free traders” includes 100% of the all time great conservative economists.
But other than that, I agree with everything else you said. Doesn’t change one fact...your last two responses have been totally different from your first two.
Emotion has its place too. Anger is a great motivator, as Trump is exploiting, and as McCain and Romney rejected, to their detriment.
I agree with that too....Newt had that anger for a while last go round, and when he did, he was way ahead.....
The large majority of libs are protectionists and large majority of conservatives support free trade (aka oppose higher TAXES on imports).
Most businessman and people who understand the economy support free trade, unless it’s in their own personal financial interest not to. I suppose Trump must be one of the those.
I know he funded an indie candidate for NY Governor to try and help the dems defeat Pataki because Pataki supported expanding gaming in NY which would have hurt Trump’s NJ casinos.
I don’t trust him at all on economics. He sounds like Perot.
>>The rich take their money and shelter it and the corporations take their dollars overseas.<<
Yep..leaving the middle class to pick up the slack.
