Moore surprised some of the Republican lawmakers assembled at their closed-door whip meeting last Tuesday when he told them they should no longer think of themselves as belonging to the conservative party of Ronald Reagan. They now belong to Trump’s populist working-class party, he said. A source briefed on the House GOP whip meeting — which Moore attended as a guest of Majority Whip Steve Scalise — said several lawmakers told him they were taken aback by the economist’s comments. “For God’s sake, it’s Stephen Moore!” the source said, explaining some of the lawmakers’ reactions to Moore’s statement. “He’s the guy who started Club for Growth. He’s Mr. Supply Side economics.” “I think it’s going to take them a little time to process what does this all mean,” the source added of the lawmakers. “The vast majority of them were on the wrong side. They didn’t think this was going to happen.” Asked about his comments to the GOP lawmakers, Moore told The Hill he was giving them a dose of reality. “Just as Reagan converted the GOP into a conservative party, Trump has converted the GOP into a populist working-class party,” Moore said in an interview Wednesday. “In some ways this will be good for conservatives and in other ways possibly frustrating.” Moore has spent much of his career advocating for huge tax and spending cuts and free trade. He’s been as close to a purist ideological conservative as they come, but he says the experience of traveling around Rust Belt states to support Trump has altered his politics. “It turned me more into a populist,” he said, expressing frustration with the way some in the Beltway media dismissed the economic concerns of voters in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan. “Having spent the last three or four months on the campaign trail, it opens your eyes to the everyday anxieties and financial stress people are facing,” Moore added. “I’m pro-immigration and pro-trade, but we better make sure as we pursue these policies we’re not creating economic undertow in these areas.” After such a transformative experience — and after witnessing Trump’s stunning victory — Moore now believes Republican House members should be less ideologically pure and instead help Trump give the voters what he promised them. “He wants to spend all this money on infrastructure,” Moore said, referring to Trump’s potentially trillion-dollar infrastructure package. It’s a massive spending bill that naturally appeals far more to Democrats than Republicans. Moore, who has worked for the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, is not a fan of the stimulus package, but he is prepared to support it. “I don’t want to spend all that money on infrastructure,” Moore said. “I think it’s mostly a waste of money. But if the voters want it, they should get it.” “If Trump says build a wall then he should build a wall. If Trump says renegotiate TPP [the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal], he should renegotiate TPP.” “Elections have consequences,” Moore added, “and I do think Donald Trump has a mandate.” Moore says his “view on trade has adjusted a bit” over the course of the 2016 campaign. “I used to be unilateral free trader,” he said. “If somebody wants to sell something to us at less cost than we can produce here, then do it." “But the political reality,” he added, “is there’s a backlash against trade. Whether we like it or not we better adapt the rules in ways that benefit American workers more, or free trade is not going to flourish. “We can scream and whine all we want but that’s reality.” Moore is excited about large parts of Trump’s agenda. He helped write Trump’s tax plan and thinks the cuts will accelerate economic growth and create new jobs. He’s also had a hand in Trump’s energy plan and looks forward to slashing regulations hindering American energy production. But Moore knows the days of Reaganite conservatism are probably over. “Reagan ran as an ideological conservative. Trump ran as an economic populist,” he said. “Trump’s victory,” Moore added, “turned it into the Trump party.” Post Comment   Private Reply   Ignore Thread   Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest #1.

To: Willie Green (#0) “If somebody wants to sell something to us at less cost than we can produce here, then do it." We'd better begin asking ourselves why we can't produce it. Here, in partiality, are my views on economics. They usually send people scambling out windows and doors in fear of the realism: The economy. The economy of this nation has been going down hill exponentially on and off since the fifties. Recessions have been deeper and longer with incomplete recoveries. The campaign dialogue should have begun with the reasonable assertion that there are no instantaneous or quick economic fixes. Entire industries have been shipped out of the country leaving people unemployed with no alternatives. We’re getting to the point where there are insufficient people being replenished with the skills necessary to ever work in those industries again. In other cases skills are deteriorating through lack of use and despondency in the people who have them. Many people have simply given up fighting the childish forces of deterioration and quit trying to do anything or applying for anything. The transference of industries to foreign countries results in the development of talent in foreign countries concurrent with a deterioration of American talent at all levels. Moreover, a phenomenal proportion of recent generations expect to go on to college, take majors in social activism, and minors in bird watching. Years after graduation they still can’t find a job because they can’t do anything of value. Most of them lack the intellectual capacity or the attitude to have graduated from a serious high school but consider anything less than a starting position as assistant CEO somewhere, with assured probability of being promoted after one year, to be beneath them. There is a recent trend toward getting something called an MBA, Master’s degree in Business Administration. An MBA contributes to a greater sense of personal grandiosity and expectation but little more in terms of getting hired and ability to do a job. MBAs represent increased academic prestige and social standing conferred by those in the business of granting them, bestowed upon those who have money and time to waste in getting them and showing them off. MBAs are largely mutually advantageous hype promulgated by both granters and recipients. This nation is top-heavy in administration and administrators or would-be administrators. For anybody trying to accomplish something, there are at least three parasites in government or private industry trying to perpetuate themselves by making the person trying to do something jump through aggravating and stunting hoops. MBAs represent a useless oversupply of parasitic irritants. America is in sad shape. It is afflicted with an extensive population that feels it is too good to do anything within its limited capability but is incapable of doing anything meeting its bloated levels of aspiration. This assures an increasing population of future chronic malcontents ready to sublimate or channel their discontent into a radical determination to overthrow the present economic system, then replace it with one guaranteeing them economic and social equality or even superiority. Today’s unrealistic frustrated incompetents eventually become tomorrow’s neurotic political radicals obsessed with imposing their idea of economic and social change. Colleges or universities are not places to acquire instantaneous equality, superior social standing, and homogeneity. They are not to be used as social clubs or coming out (to upward social standing) parties. They should be places to go to learn how to do things and how to get things done. They are not. They are, instead, places people go to learn how to talk impressively and abstractly while knowing as little as possible about anything of any importance. But, if one goes to college, but returns unable or disinterested in doing anything on a concrete level, the educational process has been an expensive illusion. Trump was correct in his criticism of destructive economic policies, but he didn’t go nearly far enough in economic analysis. He should have started with the statement that it took many years of corruption and childish deterioration to create the economic catastrophe in which we are now gripped. It will take many years to fix it. It will require 40 years and rejection of the bulk of three mainly incompetent generations to begin to rectify the present economic condition. This is something that those who have wormed their way into present soft positions within incompetence and corruption don’t want to see happen. It should also be understood that an economic system is a process, not an immediately obtained condition. Even the best economic system is like crops in a field. Crops take time to mature --or to re-grow and re-mature if they are destroyed through pilferage, indifference to weed strangulation, or intentional destruction. If outsiders are allowed to rush in and pull up the seedlings in a free-for-all celebration, everybody goes hungry even if the soil is fertile, the tractor works, and the farmers know how to raise crops. Regeneration of crops requires time and seriousness. So it is also with an economy that has been weakened or destroyed by massive theft, or strangulation by weeds in the form of indolence and or parasitism, even if that theft and parasitism is obscured by high-sounding verbal acrobatics devised to obscure itself behind wild promises buttressing a mirage of instantaneous cures and entitlement to everything. The fabrication of such acrobatics combined with implicit images of somehow deserved something-for-nothing is sufficient to bring someone massive political popularity. Continued failure of the real world and real world economics to deliver impossible promises made by demagogic politicians is responsible for mistrust and hostility toward our political and economic system. If impossible promises of immediate cures are not made and not met, there would be less reason for mistrust and hostility. What has developed is an unannounced and unrecognized war in this country between the people living in it day-to-day and the ruinous superficial word spinners who control people by fabricating nice sounding lying rhetoric designed to divert their attention from what’s happening and to maintain the word spinners position of superiority. Politicians can lie to people and even lie to themselves. They will become infuriated that people will disbelieve them or, God forbid, insult their integrity. We’re seeing is large scale application and consequence of malignant escapist intellectualism --a delusional system in which manipulation of words can appear to deny or manipulate physical reality. There is an inversion of logic. Instead of words conforming to, or describing, physical reality, physical reality is expected to change to conform to random words or verbal constructions that people concoct. The average person in America has lived a life so distant from reality that words have equal, or superior, relevance to their life than does their paltry experience with the real world. As a consequence, nonsense abstract verbiage has become the basis of an attack and a political/philosophical war upon the people of this country and western civilization. It's strongly taught at colleges. The people graduating after having been indoctrinated with it consider themselves to be certified as intellectually superior. They are not intellectually superior. They are dunces with good memories but thoughtless unquestioning minds who have been taught to repeat what they have been programmed to repeat by members of the previous generation with good memories but thoughtless unquestioning minds. Like produces like in subsequent generations. There has been a tendency for demagogic or ignorant politicians to change the economic system while making absurd promises as to what these changes will produce. When the consequences to the changes are destructive, they blame the old economic system, then claim the cure for the mysterious degradation is more changes of the type that produced degradation. In so doing, they are regarded by others, and by themselves, as intellectuals because of the clever verbal convolution they employ in the destructive process. This short paragraph encapsulates the essence of socialistic theoretical advancement. To begin achieving economic rebuilding, our educational system must be thoroughly revised. We have people graduating from high schools that can barely read, write, or calculate simple numbers. It’s getting worse. The common core curriculum appears to be some sort of sadistic game directed at deliberately insulting or torturing a population of this country that has been immobilized by verbose useless people in positions of authority with big titles. The American educational system has become a mind-crippling obscenity. Some high school graduates go on to college and require two years of remedial instruction in the basics before they can qualify to take watered down college courses. Many courses such as basic economics and history should be taught in jr. high and high schools as if students were adults. If you want to create adults, you need to treat people as adults and give them adult role models. If you treat developing youngsters as eternal children, perpetual children are what you end up with. Thirty-five years later they are still children. We have enough adult perpetual children now, including presidents, recent past presidents, or would-be presidents of the country. No class disruption should be tolerated regardless of the subculture or race the students represent. Discipline must be maintained in the classroom. Classrooms are not to be used as non-functional, but glorified, reform schools or places for all-loving and understanding group quasi-social workers to be afflicted with the impossible task of having to tolerate, or correct, lack of self control fostered in the home, in minority subcultures, or in psychopathic modeling found on the street. It must be stressed that education is serious business meant to equip students to enter later adult life with competence. There is an old adage. If you’re going to train a dog, it helps if you know more than the dog. Schoolteachers must be capable and paid accordingly. In jr. high and high school I had some very bright gifted teachers. But it’s also a fact that the path of study for a teaching certificate places too much emphasis on inculcating the cheerleading philosophy of teaching and too little, often negligible, study of the material to be taught. Consequently, I also had some intolerable disgusting duds as teachers that caused either somnolent periods of boredom or barely controllable disgust and rage at the insulting frivolous waste of my time. Presently, a teaching certificate represents an easy way to complete college by acquiring an ersatz degree. Many people are obtaining teaching certificates for being little more than puffed up brownie girl scouts. There is no necessity for a teaching certificate to teach. Knowledge of subject, determination, integrity, and adult seriousness are both necessary and sufficient to teach a subject. Interested adults throughout the country should be reviewed for ability and life experience for positions as potential qualified teachers and role models. Over sixty percent of our colleges should be closed down, then replaced with trade schools. The remainder should be viewed as places where fops go to entertain themselves and each other. Engineering should be viewed as a trade. Mathematics should be viewed as a necessity to practice trades. All the sciences should be viewed as trades. Medicine is a trade, as well as a calling. Today, Ph.D.s, particularly in the liberal arts, often have the maturity and integrity of eternal college sophomores more concerned with self-worship and campaigning for their own superior status as well as their absolute necessity in producing a so-called well-rounded individual. The reason they have the maturity and integrity of eternal college sophomores is that they have never had to leave the limited social club of college and college values throughout their lives. Becoming a college professor has become a path to attaining a condition of complacent arrogant distance and rebellion from detested adult seriousness. The result is often strutting, self-serving, arrogant, hyperverbal, fops touting a supposed need for their academic hobbies, holding pretentious positions within academic departments that have the same self-aggrandizing mission of synthesizing pretentiousness and importance for themselves and their department members. They come to believe there is nothing else in the world as important as themselves, their department, and their field of academic influence. Much of this truly needed well-roundedness comes with experience in life and the discipline to participate in real life. No candidate for a Ph.D. should be accepted without having spent two years in the enlisted ranks of the U. S. Regular Army and attained a rank of E4. Tough drill sergeants will instill a needed amount of humility, sense of proportion, reality contact, and life experience in them. This will bring people down to earth and make them well rounded. Some of the best teachers I had in jr. high and high school were veterans of WWII and Korea. The additional principle we must adopt is that what we use here, we must produce here. Obviously this has limitations. We can not, for instance, grow mangos and bananas in Arkansas. But for the most part we must stop sitting back making phone calls to foreign countries to have durable products made for us by semi-slave labor or under rates of money exchange artificially adjusted so as to get cheap goods here while putting Americans out of jobs —and America out of business. All we’re accomplishing by doing this is moving the pre-civil war slave-based plantation fields ten thousand miles away so some people can live here in distant opulent plantation houses in pompous laziness, incompetence, and throw parties. It’s destroying the economic future of this country and its people. It needs to stop. The rebuttal to the preceding paragraph consists of football cheerleader rah rah that we must be internationally competitive within a condition of parasitic economic globalism. The answer to this is that we must compete internally with ourselves instead getting entangled with other nations and the artificialities of monetary exchange rates and other manipulations in a so-called global economy. Let other nations do what they do and us do what we do, and have done in the past separated by a high wall of isolating tariffs. Self development worked for us before. It will work for us now. After this overall approach is taken, in forty years we will produce an energetic no-nonsense generation of capable doers and motivated entrepreneurs to begin rebuilding the American economy based upon productivity instead of deceptive political speeches and international financial manipulation. Such people are not easy to live with, either in the classroom or in real day-to-day life. Employment interviews with them are apt to be short and to the point: “What have you done? What can you do? What will you do? What will you be adding to the productivity of this organization?” rlk  posted on  2016-11-23   23:58:06 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #4.
