Summary

Today, we delve into two applicable words from the English language to describe Con Inc. and its arguments for the mix of policies we are seeing from the Trump administration: sophistry and demagoguery. It is taking broad principles we all support in their proper spheres and misapplying them to the extreme to play on people’s emotions. Also, to the extent a trade deficit is a problem, it’s only because of the fiscal deficit. The problem is Trump is now supporting a horrible Senate reconciliation bill to make matters worse. If only he cared about the fiscal deficit as much as the trade deficit, we would achieve his stated goals without spending as much political capital. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:58.7	Again, not the stock market.
1:00.0	And this is where we're literally going to discuss our opening motto through the prism of the news today.
1:09.4	It's about a multitude of issues. It's not about focusing people's attention
1:15.6	on any one thing. But that's what my colleagues are trying to do. Because they're not worried
1:21.6	about the country. They're not worried about any one issue and certainly not a totality of issues.
