I have noticed the more reasonable supply-side econ folks have stayed. The demand side econ people actually talk economics. The board is not having crazy arguments. The ignorant people would not come here. Note I am not saying could not come here to this forum.
They’d be welcome but they start fights on an econ board over voodoo economics. It is not econ. Listening to Ayn Rand or Milton Friedman is denying oneself an education.
Mr Wolf.
I promise this link is not political.

Reagan at his (after pushing Gorbachev just right) absolute best….
d fb
(and I knew him at his basically ignorant innocent worst)
I always laugh at that one.
I’ve always thought RR had a very good sense of humor.
I can see why he felt that way, Reagan that is.
He was shoving so much it had to rub off.
What I disagree with isn’t the rule, but rather the value of talking about things after the fact. This board isn’t the Macro Economic Trends and Impacts board.
Discussing risk implies some level of foresight.
As for the rules… we all have to follow them.
I though of Reagan as a second rate actor until I read
His best part ever was “POTUS” for which he rehearsed for decades.

Yes, Reagan was the most lettered president until Obama.
It does not matter what you believe if you can admit you are wrong. Supply-side economics only does damage while ringing up the debt.
It has always been wrong to cut taxes on the rich only to enrich them. Only is the operative word. There is no benefit to society in cutting their taxes.
