Fareed Zacharia’s take

[Goofyhoofy]

I try to catch Fareed Zachariah on CNN on Sunday’s for his commentary, if not the interviews that follow. Yesterday’s piece was extraordinary, and a great primer in how a single individual is managing to tank the economy all by himself. Includes data, charts, and graphs not available in the print version of the commentary.

Fareed’s Take: Trump’s tariffs and what they show

If you would prefer to read the column (without the supporting charts) here is a link to the WaPo:

All you need is ten seconds to judge Fareed Zachariah’s spin

Time 0:30 to time 0:40.

• Are factories booming or "We don’t make stuff anymore?
• Are salaries booming or are wokers hurting?

You decide!

Zachariah should stick to teaching. He’s good at that!
