Ok, one the main faults of the election, seen from a Democratic point of view, was the talk about a poor handling of the economic ideas of Ms. Harris. Don’t get me wrong, there were other issues. But we need to be fair and call the main issues forth. The economic ideas were just too weak. Since Mr. Trump is in fact working, quite well and frankly brilliantly with my economic ideas. I guess it is fair to say, that the main take away from the election is, that my ideas are still the kind of gold standard of economic theory. The problem was, and I said it openly at the time. That we kind of left my ideas and did other things. So Mr. Trump held the winning cards.
It is, essentially a matter of excellence. I know that bragging is bad behavior, so I am sorry for pounding my own back here. It’s not my idea, my idea is to analyze our faults.
So, if you have an economic theory that is based on Adam Smith and his work with free market theory, and add your work with Aristotle.
Then the theory is sound.
And excellent.
So, there is that.
The LEVEL of ideas has to at least match mine, otherwise it won’t win any elections.
There will be others in the near future, that are much better. I am not under any grand illusion of my superiority. It’s just, right now these theories match the challenge, that is China and the economy boom they are experiencing.
We need to fight China, to be and stay the leader of the world.
That is really the deeper understanding of the issues we are facing.
Now, I know that these realizations are tough and hard to swallow. But we need to see our faults in the eyes to plot a new course.
G-d bless the will to take on the hard questions, and then find solutions.
