Trump has finally said something I agree with

Can you name a single right of center economic publication that endorsed Obama?

The Economist

The Economist

Wrong again my friend. Wrong again. You inability to name any right of center economic publication that supported Obama is very, very telling.

You simply don't read the Economist if you think they are not right of center. And read their 2012 endorsement of him, it had very little (if anything) to do with his economic policies. I realize this has been a waste of my time.

Once again, name any right of center economic publication that endorsed Obama?

Your defining of a publication as being left or right based on who they endorse is very telling. To you, any publication that endorses Obama is left. By that definition, of course no right publications endorse Obama because by definition, if they did then they would be left instead of right.

The Economist is oriented towards allowing free markets to do their thing, which politically in the US is more of a right thing than a left thing.

Yes, an endorsement tells you a great deal about how that publication leans politically. How can you possibly dispute that? If the Economist were truly right of center, they would care a great deal about lower taxes, reduced regulations, smaller government all of which Obama does not support.

The Economist thinks Donald Trump's tax plan is a "fantasy," so while I suspected it was BS upon reading it, I've had it confirmed by a source I trust now.

The author used a word that would suggest that, but what the article really said was they compare Bush V Trump and arrive at a position that Bush Plan is more conservative than Trump. There is no BS for Trump he sees a need to Grow the Economy and the folks sitting on the sideline with trillions to invest will actually invest to grow the economy if they get a fair after tax ROI.

Compare either Repub, and it is favorable to Sanders desire to raise tax rate on individual to max of 90%. That will not encourage growth, and regardless of Obama Admin saying 2% is strong growth, those on the sideline are going to sit and wait it out, IMO.
