“We’re mortgaging our children’s future. It’s one thing to borrow money for infrastructure investment, but this …” Douglas said. He makes an exasperated face and his eyebrows shoot up over his circular glasses. “The tax cut was an overall step in the wrong direction. Nobody who has any background in economics thought the tax bill was a good idea."

Need to rein in entitlements, foodstamps, aid for foreign countries, aid to foreign states like calif. NY, ILL and NJ. Wonder where that guy was when Obama spent trillion dollars on benefits for union state workers? Nothing was gained by that.

In Woodward's book, it highlights time after time where Trump doesn't care about conventional wisdom. He surrounds himself with people who side with him and support his argument. This is evident with Trump's nationalist protectionist belief regarding the economy. Cohn is at odds withTrump about this and he throws tons of information Trump's way to show that his entire protectionist approach is wrong and 99.99% of economists agree with Cohn. In fact Trump doesn't even read any of it, he doesn't care. Trump instead finds that 0.01% guy in Navarro and puts him on his team.

Trump is unencumbered by reason or knowledge.

Rare truth from a conservative
It’s crazy, right? Revenues going up, businesses unleashing their windfalls downstream through reinvestment, salaries increasing, more jobs available than people to fill them, the end is truly near.

Now, if we just reign in our out of control spending.

If a complete moron can do this, what does that say about the previous ass wipe that held the office before Mr Trump? My toe nail could get more than 1.9% GDP in 8 years cause my toe nail doesn't think up ways to make govt stronger and business weaker.

Obama didn't spend a trillion on union state workers.

His 1.9 includes 2009. Why can't you understand that?

Why can't you face the fact that socialism doesn't work. Obama had nothing for 8 years. We will be at 3 % for the year and maybe more. Let's hope that people are smart enough to not vote against their own self interest. I have my doubts about what people can comprehend.
