The man has probably never in his life paid a tax bill, a utility bill, or balanced his checkbook. His dad was simply amazed by bar codes a while back and lil Geo probably still is. He actually has said that "small business" is somehow the answer to our trade deficit problems. He apparently thinks that maybe flea markets or Americans dealing with each other will somehow magically rectify our current $800,000,000,000.00 imbalance of trade with foreign nations.
So if I were a betting man (and I am) I would bet that we will get a whole lot of sincere but goofy looking eye squints, several forceful stares while hinching over, and the required religious/patriotic ending but not anything even resembling a plan or a solution.
I could be wrong, but I dout that. So stay tuned!  |
Government 101 lesson for the day:
Pesidents have staffs. They employ experts. They don't have to be experts themselves.
A CEO of a widget company doesn't have to know how to make widgets. He has to know how to choose and run his staff well. That's it.
Small business typically means people buying domestically. Large business often means outsourcing and buying internationally. Not a hard concept to grasp.
