By Damian Paletta Damian Paletta Reporter covering economic policy Email Bio Follow March 25 at 12:02 PM President Trump and his aides plan to spend the coming months drawing a sharp contrast between his economic platform and “socialism,” hoping to preemptively taint the health care, environmental, and education agenda pushed by Democrats in Congress and Capitol Hill before the 2020 election.
Last Wednesday, Trump took direct credit for ensuring that an Ohio tank manufacturer was still in business, telling workers there that, “If it weren’t for me, this place would have been closed.” And when aides were preparing their recent budget plan, Trump instructed them to shield Social Security and Medicare, which provide benefits to tens of millions of Americans, from structural changes.
The White House is under considerable pressure, in part because it has promised voters robust economic growth in the coming year despite numerous forecasts, even from the Federal Reserve, that the current expansion will slow considerably in the coming months. White House National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow suggested these contrasts would be a common occurrence.
Trump’s approach to governing has proven to be a departure from the Reagan-style free-market agenda that many conservatives embraced for years. He has pushed for cuts and deregulation, but he has also repeatedly sought to use the White House bully pulpit to push companies into changing their behavior.
You mean like him demanding GM keep plants open? Paying off certain groups hit by his trade war? That kind of socialism? The moron and his simpletons don’t even understand the meaning of the word.
Is a living wage, socialism?
The Washington Communist Post and Democrats are under the control of Chinese Communist Party. They never criticize Great Slaughter of Cultural Revolution. They hide victims of Communism. Democrats deceive People by the word Socialism. But All Democrats are Communists.
Welcome to the new McCarthyism Or should it be McCarthyism 2.0? This time it’s “socialism” instead of “communism.”
Handing out cash to farmers qualifies as a vulnerability.
A suggestion for the 'liberal billionaires', right wing fools are always bitching about. A national advertisement campaign (on the scale of corn beer) that ONLY states: 'When you hear socialism, they really mean social security and medicare'.
