it would seem you do fake news and emotion more than numbers, true. I mean if you say the economy is growing because of deregulation, you should be able to show how. At least a little with one or two numbers. Otherwise it's the same as Ford claiming Kavenaugh raped her 30 years ago.
The economy is growing as it has done since the 2008-2010 crash. And since economies are global, we are picking up the 2% decline from the EU. It's also growing from ballooning the debt via tax cuts, that has a lot to do with it too, but also completely unsustainable. More buyers than sellers are driving the stock market.
When I took Managerial Accounting at Harvard, the professor told a story on the first day. A product manager in a cereal company reduced the size of the box and reduced the quality of the ingredients. His P&L was fantastic in the next quarter and he was promoted to VP. New product manager's numbers were horrible the next quarter and he was let go. New PM and next quarter was bad too.
Company did some research and found that customers had abandoned the lower quality and smaller package size cereal. The changes were great in the short term, just ask the new VP, but were completely unsustainable.
Ted, can you put some numbers to deregulation impacting the economy?
