I dare anyone to read this article from William Saletan, a true neo-liberal, from Slate. It is filled with supporting links for its statements and assertions. I dare anyone reading the article to tell me how this is wrong. Anyone? Trump fans? Just try it. It is devastating.
Anyone not faulting the president at this point is simply covering his or her ears and eyes. When we see so many business people, right down to the disastrous Republican-businessman mayor of ABQ, NM for eight years, I am wondering when we will wake up as a populace and realize being a business person confers no pedigree in running a government. CA residents learned the lesson the hard way with a movie star-businessman being governor (The Arnold), and then, exhausted, put back a now-old pol, Jerry Brown, and presto! deficits turned into surpluses, and the state went from the 9th largest economy in the world to 5th. The festering problem in CA, of course, is what plagues large population centers across the planet, which is homelessness. Brown's successor, another careerist pol, Gavin Newsom, has done more than any governor in the past 40 years to confront the homeless issue, even joining with libertarians and progressives to confront NIMBYism before this crisis hit. Newsom has, as with Cuomo in NY, shown far more and better leadership than the business person in the White House (though let's not overrate Cuomo, either).
But sure, Trump fans. Avert your eyes. Do not read this article. Do not check the links if you doubt the statements made.
