- Power To The People, Right On!

It is downright shocking that Donald Trump would appoint someone to the Council of Economic Advisers from the corrupt private sector with limited range of experience compared to the current Council. For example, "Dr. Black’s research focuses on the role of early life experiences on the long-run outcomes of children, as well as issues of gender and discrimination." The Economic Council needs that kind of diversity and not just a private sector guru who specializes in making tons of money.

All experience is not created equal. Hillary and Jeb! have experience too, but it's all bad.

Where are the Austrian Economists? Oh, they ignore those at Goldman Sachs and the FED.

Just pretend that you can kick the can down the road indefinitely. It's going to crash soon! 3...2....1....KA-BOOM!!! Who'll get the blame.... DJT, and he will deserve it if he sticks with the establishment FED ponzi scheme.

What we need is more people who have focused on the role of early life experiences on the long-run outcomes of children, as well as issues of gender discrimination. We can't afford to have people whose only experience is getting it done in the private sector. We need more career government experts to continue the phenomenal, winning ways. Only such government experts can save us from kicking the can down the road. Ony they can deliver balanced budgets and a chicken in every pot.

There is good news in the TRUMP organization. Hillary is being considered for Secretary of State because she has experience.

Nothing in the article about whether Gary Cohn is qualified, or if he would do a good job, or why Trump picked him.

Just "He's from Goldman Sachs" and "He's really rich". That's it.

Gosh MSM, thanks for all the carefully researched info.
