Can Trumps economic plan work?

You could get two MacroEconomists with Masters degrees from the most prestigious University and they would come to different conclusions.

I hope it does; I'm just not sure everyone else does.

To the last line, then those cheering for failure are morons. Trump's one of the last people I'd want as president as he embodies 90% of what I think is wrong with the country the last several decades. But I hope he's the most successful president in history. Same with Obama (who was the other 10% of what's wrong), as with Bush The W (back to that 90%), Clinton, Bush The First. I was too young during the Reagan era, but I'd have rooted for him to get his head out of his rear, too.

But being supportive shouldn't blur the line of holding them accountable. I was supportive of Bush The W; I still criticized going to war and reducing taxes. I was supportive of HCR; I still criticized having a system mandating single payers without enough price controls (outside of just throwing tax money as a deduction). I was supportive of getting a blow job in the Oval Office; I still criticized NAFTA.

I am sure there are plenty of morons.

Personally, since the night of the election, I have said I hope I am wrong.  I hope that somehow Trump will make the country booming again.

But like Benton said that doesn't mean he is free from criticism or mocking when he acts the fool.

Don't let that be confused with rooting against him.  It's pointing out his flaws.
