Stephen Moore never fails to make careless errors, cherry pick numbers, and misrepresent the data. My friend Christooher Clarke picks apart Moore's latest dishonesty, exposing mistakes and misrepresentations that are big, embarrassing, and disqualifying.

    This is such a waste if time - if the economy nosedives we will ALL experience it, regardless of the fake numbers from the White House. Just more nonsense from the demented pedo in chief.

    Stephen Moore is playing to an audience of one moron in Trump math where 2+2=5 or 6 or 2,000. It’s whatever the Dear Leader says it is. He’s auditioning for the Fed position.

    If he spent as much time studying the economy as he does kissing Trumps ass then maybe he could be a little more reliable.

    Merely showing the term 'economist' covers a broad range of competencies, unfortunately. Perhaps, like a driving test, self-appointed economists would have to retake Econ101 (how does a tariff work?) before qualifying.

    Maybe so.

    On the other hand I remember: Two years being told we had no inflation! And running up to the 2024 election seeing how revisions in the Labor numbers were huge HUGE

    Moore wrote an op-ed for the Kansas City Star in 2014 defending tax cuts and insisting that low-tax states outperform. After the column was published editors discovered that Moore had his numbers wrong. The paper said that they were "finished with him" as I recall.

    Hey Justin: Do you know why GATT arbitration suddenly became as dead as the US constitution?

    Embarrassing. Call me old, but I don't TikTok😳

    We know too many MAGAs (we're from Jim Jordan's distr--more embarrassment).

    I quit trying to "teach" them. After 30yrs UI mgmt, I know they will feel it long before they believe data.

    They ARE feeling it. So I just say, "Let's catch up at Christmas".

    He's quite literally the stupidest person I have ever heard speak at a university, and that's an achievement.

    Cannot watch. It requires subscribing to TikTok. At what point do people say enough? Or is it just me? I don’t need 80 zillion sources. What these people have to say is valuable, make it free to all.

    That perfectly sums up the felon's administration: big, embarrassing, and disqualifying.

    These are the failures The Pedophile Felon listens to and promotes and expects us to believe. It's beyond pathetic.

    I was the Assistant to a Prof in Kansas in early 2000's Grad School and our Prof. tore Moore apart in a debate. I am still confused how anyone listens to this guy. He is a salesman just like his audience of one.
