Essential Economics for Politicians

So now you want to wait? I thought you had already convicted him.
No! You’re assuming, because of course I think he’s a jerk and trying to be a dictator. I don’t know anything about the results of the wiretaps or whether he’s guilty. I’m awaiting an investigation to finish, but he and you keep screaming that everything is fake. I’m saying that it’s a Republican-led investigation and trump heartily endorsed the Chief investigator mueller and now he and his supporters are trying to derail it. I find that very suspicious, but I am not an idiot who screams “lock him up” when I don’t know what the F I’m talking about. People who do that are bad for the country. I have no idea if he’s guilty of anything except being a total creep who wants to be a dictator.
 
Not my investigation. I have no stake in the results, so therefore no fear. You and Joe are the experts. Fruit of poisonous tree, he mentioned. You mentioned top secret emails. Go get ‘em! I will await the results of your investigation and Mueller’s investigation, how’s that? Remind me of your credentials as a lawyer or investigator, please?
Why would I remind you of that which is not true? I can only remind you of that which is true:

Mueller is doing damage control given the facts in my previous post.

Cool, that is not the impression you display here.

Dictators don't normally reduce the amount of taxes you pay. Dictators don't normally reduce the amount of taxes the companies you work for pay. Dictators don't normally reduce regulations. What exactly is he dictating? Need a hint?

How does it feel to never make any sense?

Although, "There are fine people . . . on both sides, on both sides." Those who scream lock him up are as bad as those that scream no collusion (as if that's the only thing Mueller is looking into).

It's "a move", "a game", "an operation", "a grift", "a scam", "a hustle" . . . it's a con. You do know what the 'con' in "con artist" is short for right?
 
Let's Take a Look at the Latest World Rankings for Liberty
America's score has improved, but not enough.

As you can see, America’s #17 ranking is a function of our position for economic freedom (#11) and our position for personal freedom (#24).

For what it’s worth, America’s worst score is for “civil justice,” which basically measures rule of law. It’s embarrassing that we’re weak in that category, but not overly surprising.

Anyhow, here’s how the U.S. score has changed over time.
