President Trump only "hires the best people" according to himself...
And one his recent hires is the economist Larry Kudlow--
He is the one who accused Nikki Haley just this past week of being "confused" about imposing new sanctions for Russia after the Syrian missle strikes--only to have the WH refuse to impose them...ergo Mr. Kudlow was sent out to explain the discconnect and he blamed UN Ambassador Haley---then he had to walk that back when Ms Haley said she did not become "confused"...no doubt...
Not that Kudlow has anything to do with foreign policy but apparently he at least was in the most recent briefing about NOT imposing new Russian sanction---the one no one told Ambassador Haley-

This article from 2007 points to Kudlow's seemingly natural ability to put his foot in his mouth and trip himself up very easily---but hey, President Trump only hires the best people....

In Dec of 07--Kudlow was totally immune to seeing any fissures in the economic cycle--and refused to take note of anyone who WAS warning people -- banks, investors, Congress--about the time bomb waiting to go off over the debt obligations that were owned by so many banks, that were going to bomb our financial system very soon after this article and eventually those of most of the world...
Yeah Kudlow---the president hires only the best people
Just read it and remember with hindsight that this man was blind as a bat then---and likely still is...

Haley said, "With all due respect, I don't get confused."
Good for her!
Kudlow has always been an idiot. All he ever talks about is 'mothers milk,' probably didn't get enough.
However, I think he bit off more than he can chew. He thought he'd get Trump to think his way and just focus on what is good for the markets. Trump is a 'no nothing' and won't have anyone tell him the facts and reality of how the markets work, governments work.
I doubt Kudlow will last too much longer.
Kudlow and Trump both know they won't have Niki Haley to be their 'yes' person.

That phrase is "know-nothing"---

Kudlow is so glad to get the limelight--
Likely the only economist that would front for Trump
Guiliani is same way

Couldn't stand seeing kudblow on cnbc. He was always nothing but a trump ass-kisser. Makes total sense trump picked him, another incompetent douche in a cabinet full of them.

Default Larry Kudlow is a DUNCE

Kudlow pimped tax cuts all through the reign of error known as the Bush-43 administration. Even as the economy collapsed around us in 2008 all Kudlow could say was give it time. As if tax cuts for the wealthy in 2001 didn't have enough time to do their magic by 2008. Kudlow is a one-trick pony, a johnny one-note, and almost always wrong. What a dunce. His idiocy was briefly rewarded with his own TV show on MSNBC.

FWIW:
- Big tax cuts for the wealthy happened in the early 1920s and set the stage for the Great Depression.
- Big tax cuts for the wealthy happened in the early 2000s and set the stage for the Great Recession.
- Big tax cuts for the wealthy happened in the 2018 and will set the stage for the next huge disaster.

Tax cuts lead to too much money chasing a finite amount of real estate, stock market equities and other items which drives up their prices as we've seen lately. It will continue until it can't, then it will crash and burn, most likely by 2019 or 2020.

Why don't you keep your slanted politics over in the politics section?

Your Trump hysteria is taking over your life.

Trickle-down is one of favorite economic theories to explain to people. Put ice cubes in a glass. Pour in fluid. Watch it trickle down. Put in a straw. See how easy it is to suck it all right back up.

Trump makes the decisions. All he needs is a loyal yes man in Kudlow's position.
It works because unlike Nikki Haley he doesn't want to be president.
Nikki can't be president but she doesn't know it.
She isn't wealthy enough to withstand the liberals assault,
and there is no reason to vote for someone owned by the donors.
