In the early 1970s, I took Economics 101-102. We learned how monetary and fiscal policies manipulated the economy by using various techniques of interest rates, to control the money supply, and the use of tariffs and legislation to control commerce and trade.
The Duck is now using tariffs to punish countries to bend to his will. This is grade-school antics. I will take my ball home and youâll be sorry. I am bigger than you and will beat you up.
Conservatives do not like uncertainty. How do you plan the course of your business if the rules can be changed by the whiff of presidential flatulence?
Blusterous rants and raves on whatever the subjects of the day, illustrate a shoot from the hip mentality. Shooting from the hip usually means you miss the mark of what you really want the outcome to be.
There are many like me who are tired of the Duck mucking up the world order.
Beware the Ides of March.
