Trump Is Right on Economics

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/07/op...mics.html?_r=1

According to left wing commie economist Paul Krugman, Trump gets some things right. And that's what is really pissing off the Republican establishment and their Corporate Overlord Puppetmasters.

Quote:
So Jeb Bush is finally going after Donald Trump. Over the past couple of weeks the man who was supposed to be the front-runner has made a series of attacks on the man who is. Strange to say, however, Mr. Bush hasn’t focused on what’s truly vicious and absurd — viciously absurd? — about Mr. Trump’s platform, his implicit racism and his insistence that he would somehow round up 11 million undocumented immigrants and remove them from our soil.

Instead, Mr. Bush has chosen to attack Mr. Trump as a false conservative, a proposition that is supposedly demonstrated by his deviations from current Republican economic orthodoxy: his willingness to raise taxes on the rich, his positive words about universal health care. And that tells you a lot about the dire state of the G.O.P. For the issues the Bush campaign is using to attack its unexpected nemesis are precisely the issues on which Mr. Trump happens to be right, and the Republican establishment has been proved utterly wrong.

Bush of course doesn't want to alienate the TP guys by saying Trump is wrong on the red meat stuff. So this is all he's got.

"Conservatives were very clear about what would happen as a result. Raising taxes on “job creators,” they insisted, would destroy incentives. And they were absolutely certain that the Affordable Care Act would be a “job killer.”

So what actually happened? As of last month, the U.S. unemployment rate, which was 7.8 percent when Mr. Obama took office, had fallen to 5.1 percent. For the record, Mr. Romney promised during the campaign that he would get unemployment down to 6 percent by the end of 2016. Also for the record, the current unemployment rate is lower than it ever got under Ronald Reagan. And the main reason unemployment has fallen so much is job growth in the private sector, which has added more than seven million workers since the end of 2012."

Paul Krugman should be on Hillary's transition team with a cabinet appointment to follow.
Stay the course, Mrs. Clinton!

Soon to be a forgotten person called Mrs. Clinton. Bernie is steamrolling all over her in NH and catching up in Iowa. Better get used to defeat Bob.

Your enthusiasm will be short lived so enjoy the moment. We will be soon talking about how Hillary lost Iowa.

We're still over a year out from election day and there's miles to go before she fights off any challenger from our side.

Besides that, there's no good reason for Hillary to interrupt the Repub's thinning/bloodletting of their massive herd of tools.

By next summer everyone will be laughing about ServerGate the same way we laugh at BenghaziGate now. There really is no there. there. IMO.

Not sure what this has to do with the absolute joke of a campaign she's attempting to run, but hey, whatever you say.
