It’s not the economy, stupid — but it should be.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are too busy trading barbs on hot-button topics like race and immigration to discuss the economy, which has slowed to a crawl under President Obama’s watch.

“The numbers are bad. There should be a concern about the weakness in the economy,” said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former ­director of the Congressional Budget Office.

“I would have thought that the economy would be at the center of the presidential campaign. Instead we’re hearing about which candidate is more racist. It’s crazy. It’s sad.”

This may be because neither one really knows how to fix the economy
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Hillary doesn't want to be sullied with it, plus she and Trump pretty much agree with Obama's economic agenda.

This is why it is not much of a topic.

 More central planning and Keynesian Economics.

It's just a matter of what degree is the only difference.

What's stunning is many of those who railed the loudest against BHO's stimulus and spending are embracing Trump's proposals to continue those

The most we can hope for if either of these get in is a continuation of a sluggish economy. However, what happens when the next inevitable recession hits after a long period of sluggish growth????
