They all want the economy to crash, it’s what Mulvaney meant by noting their ‘vested interest.’
How pathetic that the word of a comedian carries more truth than the contortions of a Nobel prize-winning economist.
Because here’s what’s really going on: Free market ideas are not the property of the right or Trump or anyone. They are there for all to take, and like a reliable machine, they work every time they are tried. Democrats could have had a Trump-style economy too if they wanted one, all they had to do was cut taxes and deregulate, just as Trump did. The result would be exactly the same. But they didn’t, and it was because they didn't want to, and it wasn’t just because they don’t understand economics, it’s because they have a vested interest in a bad economy, the better to keep the masses down.
