[Kzyxtalk] The Economic Questions

[Norman de Vall]

John,
Sounds good.  I’ve set my alarm so not to miss it.
But if I do is it available later?
Norman

Do the Repubs intend to develop economic policy with the intention of
balancing the budget (1) and pay down debt (2)?  If so, How?

Isn’t inflation the only way out?

And white women college graduates only slightly favored Clinton, while trade and state-of-personal-finances badly hurt Clinton. Views of the parties are polarized, but more people have a better view of the Democrats than the Republicans. So Trump now has to make policy for Carl Icahn, Peter Thiele, and his other supporters, while also doing something real for the heartland. The Democrats and the other Republicans all failed at this."
