Nobel Economists Bash Trump, Hail Biden
in Pre-Debate Inflation Attack

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 6/27/2024 12:37:31 AM

Sixteen Nobel Prize-winning economists — all unabashed liberals — have unleashed a partisan attack against Donald Trump on the eve of the first presidential debate. In a letter released Wednesday, the economists claim that former President Donald Trump could stoke inflation if he wins the presidency in November and implements his economic plans. It’s highly likely that President Joe Biden or even the debate moderators will “Many Americans are concerned about inflation, which has come down remarkably fastcite the letter during Thursday night’s debate.

I guess these were the guys who told Biden that inflation was running at 9% when he took office.

I believe the actions put forth by the experts during the COVID crisis Have permanently diminished any belief in what the experts say about anything, Especially if they are from any government institute or university. Also considering the unbelievable nominations put forth by the Nobel Prize Committee, I don't have any trust in what a Nobel prize winner says either.

The bar for the Nobel Prize is set so low, you can trip over it and win. I know what we were paying for food, gas, utilities, etc. in 2020 and what we're paying now.

First it was the "51 liars" of the "Intelligence" community, now it's "16 leftist losers" from the "Economics" world. Are we are seeing a trend here?

It's pretty clear to us now that all of the famous "prizes" are essentially "attaboys for liberals." Like the Nobel Peace prize for Obama before he even killed his first American citizen with a drone. And my favorite, the "Pullet Surprise" for journolism. In particular, we no longer need umpteen economists to prognosticate what kind of economy to expect from Trump or Biden...we've already lived through an economy under both of them and we don't need no stinkin' economists to tell us what our pocketbooks already know.

Anything ANY of these people are involved with should lose it's tax exempt status, they have demonstrated Political Partisanship, intentionally and willfully. Before each "Trump Debate" going back to Clinton a "Group of high ranking/prominent Experts has released a Letter", whether it was doctors questioning his mental health, economists trashing his economic plans, Intel insiders claiming Russian plots, or Foreign policy personages stoking war fears...ALL of them proving to be Dem Operatives manipulating media and influencing/interfering with elections...THIS is a "Campaign Contribution". To be an "Investment" there must be a rational expectation of a positive monetary return of outlay...otherwise it is simply "Spending". Bidens(and these so called economists) "Investments" have had, and will have NO positive fiscal returns, only "Political" ones.They are spending Taxpayer funds for partisan political purposes.

Economics has correctly been called, "the dismal science." Economists are particularly good at being wrong, but never in doubt. Think of the self-proclaimed world's greatest economist, the execrable Paul Krugman. Has he ever been correct? Short answer: no. But he won the Nobel Prize in Economics! Never forget that figures can lie and liars can figure, and they frequently do, using the three types of lies as defined by Mark Twain, viz., "lies, damn lies and statistics."

Nobel economist means nothing since Obama won a Nobel Prize for just being alive. These 16 liberal economists are safely ensconced in their Ivy covered towers of academia never having to experience the real world. They have most likely never met a tax or government spending program they didn't support and believe that big government is the answer to all economic ills.

Alfred Nobel established five Nobel prizes. Chemistry, Literature, Peace, Physics, and Physiology or Medicine. There is no Nobel Prize for economics. What these people won was the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. It's a prize sponsored by the state bank. That's like winning the Federal Reserve Bank Prize in Memory of Alan Greenspan.

A pretty weak attempt by the coordinating leftist hoards to try to "checkmate" Trump into agreeing inflation isn't worse - and we should thank Slo joe for all his hard graft as President. I bet 90% of the debate questions are directly tied to specific remarks by these 15 experts who prepare daily bag lunches. Telegraphing the debate tone is the leftist hoard's specialty.

If anyone can seal the border, Donald Trump can. But can even he wrestle back control after President Biden’s “nation-wrecking nightmare” (Trump’s words, jarring but spot on)? Trump would “seek to re-establish” his “Migrant Protection Protocols,” which saw the Department of Homeland Security refuse entry to those apprehended at the southern border, and having them stay in Mexico pending their removal proceedings. Since 1997, all Trump’s predecessors possessed this potent statutory tool, yet only Trump used it.

While introducing Biden at a fundraiser earlier this week, Beyer compared the President to none other than Jesus Christ. This was a case of setting the bar very high, to say the least.

And Democrats are in a full-fledged panic about the future, some feeling deceived by the president's handlers and angry that his inner circle appears to be blaming everyone but themselves for last week's debacle. Now it all boils down to two questions: Will Biden will drop out of the race? And who is in the top position to replace him? The answer to that the second question should be a no-brainer — the vice president, of course.

Well, let me say this as clearly as I can: I’m staying in the race,” Biden said, reading from a teleprompter. “I don’t think anybody’s more qualified to be president or win this race than me,” Biden said. “If the Lord Almighty came down and said, ‘Joe, get out of the race,’ I’d get out of the race. The Lord Almighty’s not coming down.” Don’t ya wonder what he might have said without the teleprompter?
