Tucker Carlson touts Warren's 'economic patriotism' plan, says some ideas 'make obvious sense'

Fox News’s Tucker Carlson offered praise Wednesday night for Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s “economic patriotism” platform that would invest $2 trillion in green research and technology over the next decade.

“The truth is that Washington policies, not unstoppable market forces, are a key driver of the problems American workers face. From our trade agreements to our tax code, we have encouraged companies to invest abroad, ship jobs overseas and keep wages low,” Carlson said, continuing to read an extended monologue on the topic before revealing it was an excerpt from a policy proposal by Warren.

"Nobody you voted for said that or would ever say it," Carlson said, adding that "many of Warren’s policy prescriptions make obvious sense," such as the federal government buying U.S.-made products whenever possible and scaling up apprenticeship programs.

Yes, let's junk all the past economic policies that have made the U.S., by far, the wealthiest, most economically successful country in the world. All because a commie lib says it's the way to go. Sheesh.

Wealthiest country in the world? Only if you ignore the ludicrous debt load we have now incurred.

That’s nice. What’s the US wealth ranking on a per capita basis?

Ps never mind, looks like we’re no. 2 behind Switzerland.

Anyway that figure needs to be weighted for transfer payments, debt, comparative tax load etc

Not trying to give you a hard time, but a quote without a link to the story or data is useless.  We need to be able to see what is behind the quote.
