Ex-President Barack Obama recently gave a speech highlighting the economic recovery that he started and is now in full bloom under President Donald Trump. But I remember when Obama announced that 2 percent growth was going to be the new normal! Trump came along and reduced the tax and regulatory burdens — the complete opposite policy approach of Obama. Now we have 4 percent growth! Why won’t our friends on the left admit that Keynesian economics and top-down economic control do not work?
When I see the results of Obama’s economic policies, I see a man in mom jeans and a bicycle helmet riding a tricycle on the sidewalk! When I see the results of Trump’s economic policies, I see a man in leather with a bandanna on his head riding a Harley motorcycle on the highway.
