| FragilE^ said: "His plans are terrible" as an argument is just as worthless as "He has small hands". If you were to tell me why his plans are terrible, then I'll listen.

What is crazy is that a majority still view him better with the economy. What are his economic plans? His tax plan is more of the same old tax cuts for mainly the rich with barely any cut for the rest. Trickle down doesn't work and wages have been near stagnant since the 80s for everyone except the ultra rich. His camp argues that this would somehow increase revenue by spurring the economy but if you look back to the Bush and Reagan tax cuts one can see it only added to the deficit.
Starting trade wars won't bring manufacturing back to the USA because other countries would just raise tariffs on our good. Sure you can raise tariffs on certain goods such as Chinese steel which they have been dumping on market lately but a blanket increase on all goods would be stupid (I believe we tried this right before the Great Depression 29-39 and it just made matters worse).

First he says he would raise the min wage then he says we don't need a min wage. He flip flops on issues more than anyone (makes John Kerry look like a non flip flopper). I am not the all wise knowing of economics but the things he says about economics makes it sound like he studied from the voodoo economics playbook.
Argue against any of that. I'd like to see you try. He sits there on stage saying he will make everyone so rich and the country so great when in fact his plans will do the exact opposite. The only thing I agree with him on is increased infrastructure spending. However, I'd rather see the Civilian Conservation Corps revived and major infrastructure projects assigned to them.
