I often wonder whose economy all the critics of ours would trade places with. Let’s leave aside the academic debates among competing elite-filled think tanks. In the political realm, many of the most vociferous critics of today’s economy are the ones benefitting the most, namely, Don, JD, Elon and the other tech bros. Fear not. After we slap on some politically driven tariffs (Don’s bargaining with corporate America has already begun), withdraw from NATO, cut Taiwan loose, renew the budget-busting tax cuts, jack spending akin to his first term, prosecute a few political enemies, deport 13 million brown people, and clamp down on legal immigration, things should turn around quickly. Maybe Don can even break his own record for accumulation of debt, surely a long term boon for the working class.
