The Trump economy

MSN: 

Liberal media outlet inadvertently explains benefits of Trump's economic plan

Leave it to MSNBC to ferret out "The biggest difference between Trump's and Harris' economic pitches." According to a recent MSNBC opinion piece with that title, "Trump is obsessed with the macroeconomics, big-picture, 10,000-foot view of the economy" while Harris offers a "microeconomic pitch," with specific polices to improve Americans’ economic circumstances.

Respectfully, the piece does not make the point its author thought he was making.

Particularly in this election year, no one should criticize a presidential candidate as "obsessed" with addressing macroeconomic issues such as inflation, wages, interest rates, economic growth and the deficit.

The Biden/Harris administration’s failure to effectively address these very issues resulted in massive inflation, declining real wages, stifling interest rates, a surging federal deficit, and an almost incomprehensibly large national debt. 

American voters will likely insist that the next president have a better plan to address those issues.

And there’s the rub – Harris doesn’t have one. She has unabashedly praised the current plan, a failed big government hodgepodge of massive spending and increased regulatory pressure called Bidenomics. 
...

Bidenomics caused the biggest increase in inflation in decades.  Everything from food to cars and trucks costs significantly more than it did when Trump was in office.  It will continue to be hard to roll back those cost increases but Trump should be better able to control the increases. Food now costs over 20 percent more than it did when Trump was in office and the cost of gas and vehicles has also gone through the roof.  For those on a fixed income that means lowering their standard of living.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
