What the headline giveth, the last paragraph, taketh away. I'm Scott Ott with Bill Whittle and

Stephen Green, this episode of Right Angles, brought to you by the members at Bill Whittle.com.

Gentlemen, I was reading a Wall Street Journal story, and the banner headline is Trump's

conflicting business policies so economic uncertainty. And Steve, I will just immediately say that my favorite little phrase in the

news of all time is economic uncertainty. I think it gets said more often than almost any other

single phrase. And every time somebody says it, I just laugh. Like there was some fantastical

era when there was economic certainty, you know, like somehow everything, like if only the

president had a consistent storyline in his policies, then we would have economic certainty.

Then we could make solid investments and nobody would

ever be disappointed. It is the absolute antithesis of all that free markets mean.

Economic certainty is, if it existed, is called communism. And even that isn't all that certain.

So, anyway, Steve. Well, hunger. Yeah. So anyway, Steve, I'm-

Hunger.

Yeah.

So I'm reading this story and I get all the way to the bottom of the story.

And hang on a second.

I got to find this quote because, you know, the whole story was basically about how

the combination of tariffs on, tariffs off for 30 days, you know, China tariffs being

different than Canada and Mexico tariffs and, you know, deregulation. It's coming. Petroleum

industry should be going up and we think, but, you know, and so they're not really complaining

about Trump's policies. They're just saying that it's nobody exactly knows what's going to happen.

And then I get way down in the story here.
