    Well, I’d saying he’s grown a bit over the past couple of years.

    And you’re dead wrong. The “Economist” you see in the news are about as credible as the 50 something “Intel officers”.
    yeah I can read too, and I don't watch "the news" to form basic economic principles.

    I don't know enough about economics to really contribute to the conversation. I totally understood everything you posted but had no knowledge or concept of it before you shared it.

    I guess it will either work or it won't, and if it doesn't we'll have to fix it, and if we can't fix it then Trump's legacy will be that of Captain Edward Smith.

    Really, what’s your favorite book on economics?

    The problem is you’re trying to apply Econ 101 to Macro/International 800.

    You got it right. We’ve been rearranging the deck chairs of debt for a while…

    I have zero desire to go down the good will hunting dick measuring stick with you. It’s pretty simple economics and common sense.

    Yes you definitely are. You're the book guy who tries to look smart, and just compounds your stupidity. Do you even know what inflation is?

    I do. Do you know what actually drives it?

    Hint: What is the value of that Reserve Note in your pocket?
