James Kwak — Kudlow and Economics in the Trump Administration


Title should be Larry Kudow and economism.

I prefer G. W. H. Bush's "voodoo economics."

From Noah Smith

" That's because if tax cuts aren't eventually matched by spending cuts, then the government has to either hike taxes, or default on its debt."

I guess he'd be a tacit supporter of a Balanced Budget Amendment too. Good grief! Too much stupidity going on. I would have thought Noah would be better than this. Ronald Reagan sure proved that we wouldn't need to default on anything just for running higher deficits.
