Because Soupy Sales is no longer with us.
More Trickle Up economics…
Well, that pretty much assures an economic meltdown before 2020. And hey, the important thing is that he’s been on TV. How can you even take someone seriously if they haven’t been on TV?
Update: indeed, the more I think about it, the more in keeping with Trump’s other picks it is. He selected Perry because he wants to dismantle the Department of Energy. He selected Betsy DeVos because she wants to destroy public eduction. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions gets Justice because he hates justice. Pruitt gets EPA because he wants to destroy both the EPA and the environment.
Who better than Kudlow for the CEA by that standard?
Remember, not everyone has the same opinion about Larry. Some people think he is an idiot, but others think he is a moron. So we could say that opinions are split.
He’s not a real economist, but he used to play one on TV.
Jim Cramer would be a much better fit.
I will go with idiot. I didn’t think it could get worse, but I was wrong.
Back in the 80’s he had a cocaine habit. No wonder why he’s a supply sider. Nothing like having a drug dealer and a cartel benefit from tax cuts.
Cannot wait to see what he does with Hannity. The swamp cannot get much worse! “Drain? You didn’t take me literally did you…I meant FILL THE SWAMP”!
President Trump is right: if you been on the TV in a chair like he was on “The Apprentice” that makes you qualified to serve under him.
So Lord Haw Haw may get a chance to show those low lives in Congress how to think and act? I hope that, if appointed, he would try to tell Elijah Cummings or John Lewis how misinformed they are; they might make him pee his Brooks Brothers pants in front of the cameras.
If the fucking Aflac duck had endorsed Trump, it would have a spot in the administration by now.
Each day I hope it won’t get worse and each day it does
Easiest job in the world.
What should we do? Cut taxes!
What else? Cut regulations!
“The three-member council, usually staffed from academia, advises the president on economic matters and compiles an annual economic report.”
Which, under Trump, will be an exercise in fiction. If not fantasy.
If you can believe Wikipedia, Kudlow hasn’t even got a Masters.
In 1971, Kudlow attended Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, where he studied politics and economics. He left before completing his master’s degree.
Kudlow has been ranting deregulation,and tax cuts like at retarded parrot for the last 50 years
It’s all he knows,and will be all he will ever know. The world has changed. Larry Kudlow is incapable
of change. He would be a disaster .
Create revenue? Cut programs.
This really is easy.
Cramer, as far as I know, is still a Dem (albeit a Wall Street Dem, so not much of a Dem to the base these days…but would probably be an improvement over the Trumpistas named so far). But yeah, in terms of preposterous TV presence, he would be a fit, though Trump wouldn’t like being overshadowed. Kudlow is ridiculous as a WH advisor, though I would say from what I saw of his TV show he would have opposing viewpoints on (such as Jared Bernstein) and give them a mostly-respectful listen.
