Can progressives learn anything from Republicans?

I'm inclined to worry more about things like PPP GDP per capita and debt to GDP ratios than any bubble in nominal GDP.  The fact is that Trump has mortgaged our future to big corporations and a massive debt, as well as pissing away money on military spending.  What does GDP growth matter when real wages are stagnant?  And while it's not particularly telling, China has now eclipsed the U.S. in GDP PPP per capita.

I'm unable to find a source for the "2.5% GDP is no longer attainable" quote.  Would you mind providing a source for these quotes, Neo?

Wear gloves when you get that quote. You know where he pulled it from.

It is not clear whether Wooster is the dumb moron at the receiving end of the right wing con, or the useful enthusiastic idiot who imagines there is something in it for him to help perpetuate the con.  But the con itself and its origins is familiar:  never allow the gullible moron to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

It is also not surprising the chip off the old trumpster, the most unabashed practitioner of this con in American politics yet, should suggest it is his parent baboon’s enemies who are like the Nazis.

I would kindly ask that you desist in conflating chadwooters with Bertram Wooster.  Uou dishonour that great fictional character's good name, sir.

My apologies to his man Jeeves.
