Larry Kudlow top pick to head Council of Economic Advisers

Posted by | December 15, 2016 17:24 | Filed under: Economy Politics

The CNBC business commentator the likely Trump economic pick.

Conservative economist Stephen Moore, who worked with Kudlow to write Trump’s tax plans, said during a lunchtime speech Thursday to the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce’s economic club that Kudlow would be appointed to the influential post “within the next 48 hours.”

“And who better than Larry? He’s one of the great economists in this country,” said Moore, who has been advising Trump on tax policy in the transition.

Less than an hour after The Detroit News first reported Moore’s comments, the chief economist at the Heritage Foundation think tank backtracked and said he “misspoke.”

“It isn’t a done deal and I jumped the gun,” Moore said in an email to The News.

Kudlow “is on the short list, though” to lead Trump’s circle of top economic advisers, Moore said.

    Lawrence Kudlow.

    The man who gave us these words of wisdom in 2007, just before the economy crashed.

    Kudlow is also the man with the optimistic predictions on how wonderful invading Iraq will be. Didn’t Trump campaign on the premise that he opposed the war all along? Oh well, the deplorables don’t care. Dear Leader Trump now says Kudlow is the guy and Dear Leader’s whims are all that matter.

    Decisive shock therapy to revive the American spirit would surely come with a U.S. invasion of Iraq. Why not begin with a large-scale special-forces commando raid on the Iraqi oil fields? This will send a shot across Saddam’s bow; an electrifying signal to all terrorist nations. The message will be that the game is up. Surrender now or you will be crushed in a short while.

    …..
    ….

    The shock therapy of decisive war will elevate the stock market by a couple-thousand points. We will know that our businesses will stay open, that our families will be safe, and that our future will be unlimited.

      They accept whatever he says at the time, doesn’t matter if it’s the opposite of what he said before. Total lack of critical thinking.

    Trump’s picks are kinda like shock-troops – we’re shocked that he picked ’em.
