A Socialist Response to Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ Report

What an amazing crock of shit in the report that is being responded to in this article.  It is laughably predictable anti socialist claptrap! I am so please that we are now able to respond rationally to this harmful an worn out meme that has enslaved the American psyche for so long.

Government report:

The stated purpose of the Council of Economic Advisers says it all:

The Council of Economic Advisers, an agency within the Executive Office of the President, is charged with offering the President objective economic advice on the formulation of both domestic and international economic policy. The Council bases its recommendations and analysis on economic research and empirical evidence, using the best data available to support the President in setting our nation's economic policy.

Thus they cherry pick junk economic so called"science" to justify whatever the fuck the President wants. If you are at all educated about the spectrum of socialist experiments in the world a reading of this report will leave you gaping in disbelief.
