Axios omits crucial details about economists who say Trump will destroy the economy

FIRST ON FOX: A letter signed by 16 top economists warning of the economic dangers of electing former President Trump, which is being amplified by the Biden campaign and other Biden surrogates, is littered with signatories who have either donated to Biden or supported him politically in the past.

"While each of us has different views on the particulars of various economic policies, we all agree that Joe Biden's economic agenda is vastly superior to Donald Trump," the economists wrote in a letter first reported on by Axios this week that has been promoted by various members of the Biden campaign on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The letter’s Nobel Prize-winning signatories show political donations to President Biden's 2020 and 2024 campaigns. The signatories also donated tens of thousands of dollars to other Democrat candidates and signed previous letters supporting Biden's agenda, including attacking "selfish and reckless" Trump, a Fox News Digital review found.

Economist Joseph Stiglitz, the Columbia University professor who reportedly spearheaded the letter, previously signed a letter supporting Biden’s Build Back Better agenda and donated $1,250 to the Biden Victory Fund in 2020.

Axios.  Nah, no way. They are top notch.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

From the article....

"While each of us has different views on the particulars of various economic policies, we all agree that Joe Biden's economic agenda is vastly superior to Donald Trump," the economists wrote in a letter first reported on by Axios this week that has been promoted by various members of the Biden campaign on X, formerly known as Twitter.

When looked at honestly, both their economic policies are more similar than different

Both men favor tariffs and trade wars

Both believe in using debt to artificially boost GDP numbers

Both support bailouts

Both support a more active role of government in the economy

Both believe in Modern Monetary Theory

Trump may be better on the regulatory front that Biden. But that's it. To say one's policies are vastly superior to the others is an overstatement

Neither are a Coolidge, Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayak, ect ect

These economists are letting their personal feelings regarding Trump mesh with their economics

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.
