Trump Economic Adviser... "Deficit coming down"
Trump lying to America has now been extended to his Economic Advisers... Who know better
But do it anyway
Here's the quote:
“The deficit, is coming down, and it's coming down rapidly.”
Graded by every metric as false - even by Fox News financial analysts
But here we are with this administrations pervasive systemic lying right out in the open as loudly as possible
Because they know their CORE demographic does zero research
One Economist called the claims "Laughable, were they not almost criminally negligent.."

Then I guess we'll just have to disagree
I've been fascinated by it
We've got Trump sometimes tweeting 5 or 6 lies a day
and then his advisers mostly dismissing them the following day
Now we've got advisers rolling out the same doozies
This is a full on assault on "reality"

Chia is right here, Obama did not lie except when his lips moved.
“If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.” Probably the biggest deliberate lie in 20 years. Trumps lies are basically over hyping. And do not do the damage the aforementioned one did.

Re: Trump Economic Adviser... "Deficit coming down"
It was certainly easier to lie in the past - you could do a little voodoo math focused on a narrow metric, show a deficit reduction, and declare victory. Bill Clinton's people were good at that
Today that just isn't possible anymore - you can either come around to the reality most of us have been living with for the last few decades - that we are on a runaway train.... or you can just lie

No they don't. The Democrats do not do things like claim that the deficit is coming down when it's not.93henfan wrote:Both parties do it and it’s sad.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Re: Trump Economic Adviser... "Deficit coming down"
Politifact has 14% of the Obama statements its rated as False or Pants on Fire. It's got 47% of Trump's statements rated as such.
The idea that Obama was even close to the level Trump is at in terms of bold face lying is laughable. Of course I know Trump zombies will attack Politifact because Politifact doesn't align with what Trump supporters want to believe.
But we have NEVER in the modern era (at least) had as dishonest a Presidential administration as this one is.

but at 50% we've crossed over into a discussion about the nature of reality
(absolutely pathological)
and the GOP faithful would have us believe this is the new normal
Like this is just the next step in our political evolution

Democrats in the past have simply denied that deficits were a big deal - that's the only real way to debate deficit spending... question whether or not it matters
The problem with the Democrats' past stance on the deficit is that it denies a century worth of evidence to the contrary - and ignores what is happening to countries (right in front of our eyes) that have outspent their GDP and borrowed for too long

Larry Kudlow has gone full retard on the right, much as Paul Krugman has gone full retard on the left.
Economists are just as capable as CS posters of going full retard.

If you are trusting CBO forecasts, I suggest looking at their history first.An April report from the Congressional Budget Office projected that the federal deficit will rise from $665 billion in fiscal year 2017, which ended on Sept. 30., to $804 billion during the 2018 fiscal year.
I'm willing to wait to analyze the results.

And the Dems have been at it much longer. Still, we ARE different than Greece and Argentina. And there’s also this...
“I’m not worried about the deficit. It’s big enough to take care of itself.”
