Is this columnist circling President Trump Economic Policies with an Indirect Comparison?
The Chicago Tribune Perspective article titled, Trump’s meddling is bad for the economy, reports a liberal columnist opinion that Trump’s meddling in the economy is spoiling President Obama’s economic accomplishments.
The Purpose of This Post
Is to explain why this Perspective is not a Direct, Like for Like, Exact, Model for Model, Step by Step, Part for Part, Piece by Piece, Line for Line, economic comparisons. In other words, this writing is not a fair game comparison.
In other words, the discernment of this opinion is a senseless rather than a wise objective of discernment worth considering, in my opinion.
King Solomon
Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning, but a rod is for the back of one who has no sense. (Proverb 10:13)
What’s My Point?
Frankly, President Obama was in office for eight years, whereas President Trump only two years.
Therefore, the writer’s article is not a fair comparison.
In My Opinion
Opinions like this writer are being listened to by other countries economic advisors. The countries that accumulated over nine trillion dollars from the trade agreements which obviously favored their economies rather the USA are not in any hurry to balance trade, which is the goal of President Trump’s economic trade policies.
In other words, this writer’s opinions are not helping President Trump economic policies.
Why he believes it is better to have unbalanced trade, which all statistics have proven has resulted in three million livable wage manufacturing jobs to be outsourced, and resulted in millions of college students to be one trillion dollars in debt because, after graduation, the only jobs availed for the majority are to stock shelves in retail stores with imported manufactured products.
If Interested
Read the article in the Source Link below, if you want to discern his proven failed economic opinions.
You Decide
Is this Perspective a sour grapes economic opinion?
Would it be better for our Nation to allow President Trump to negotiate our trade agreements than the predictors who lost the last election because of the sad results of middle-class Americans wages were decreased during President Obama’s eight years of failed economic trade policies?
Will you discern this post wise, foolish, fair, objective, or senseless, according to King Solomon’s proverb?
Will time fairness tell which meddling is really good or bad for the economy?
Is this writer, same as a number of liberal writers acinglike a pack of wolves in numbers trying to circle President Trump for a kill?
Regards and good will blogging.

Think again. After eight stagnant years, Obama is taking credit for Trump’s economy. That is after saying that kind of growth was not even possible anymore. He even ridiculed Trump for saying it was.
The author of that editorial did not just render his opinion. He repeated a lie, a big lie. He needs to be shamed for writing such stinking fertilizer.

Tom,
He is an elite typical of, or possesses to a high degree the features of a whole class; embodiment of liberalism, globalism, Constitutional progressive, etc,.
There is no hope of ever trying to convince or change him to agree with anything related to political conservatism, or balanced global trade.
As for economics of trade imbalances, I believe he knows but will never admit that the reason deficit trade balances benefit the USA is we are obtain goods and services in exchange for paper dollars.
However, in time, when out dollar defaults in debt, then all the debt we incurred as a Nation will have been a bargain because we will repay our debtors with inflated dollars and obtained their goods and services for worthless paper they accumulated.
In other words, he thinks we will come out ahead because we exchanged their products with worthless paper.
After which, there will be plenty of opportunities to manufacture goods again in the USA, but no way to use paper dollars to obtain global products because no one will trust the dollar ever again as a medium of exchange..
The only drawback is our global trade partners know this and that is why they keep buying up USA farmland and businesses. They are smarter than this elite liberal economist understands.
In other words, we are exchanging the USA assets for mainly electronic gadgets being produced by cheap labor in foreign countries.
Oh well.
Regards and good will blogging.
