I simply stated that the armchair economists like yourself and Roger would inevitably show up to pretend they know more than VDH.
I was right.
You werne't
I said he lied in the video. I made no subjective evaluation of the comparison of his economic knowledge compared to mine.

Why does a doctorate in classics makes him an authority on economics?
Why does sitting on a message board 24/7 make your opinions any more valid than VDH’s?

Who said they did?
This is also why I rely on authorities, like Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, etc. I certainly don't know more than those guys about economics (neither does VDH)

It’s an hour plus podcast knucklehead.
You commented on a promo clip.
Maybe watch the whole thing and learn something.

Ok, what makes you an expert on economics, and BTW likely 90 percent of current Economic PhD’s are all going to defend Keynesian economics where a centralized government props up the economy,through spending. Look where that shite has got us.

It literally does not matter what Trump does, SFP will hate on it. He can never do anything right.
SFP will always find a way to disagree because that’s just who he is as a human

The really cool thing about having the strongest currency and the most advanced economy is that other countries have to buy our expensive exports in USD. Their exports to us are in kind cheaper for us, which saves us the money that allows us to fund those higher end portions of our economy that keep us richer than those countries in perpetuity.

I think SFP is lying about his claim that VDH is lying about data SFP has no access to and is completely making poop up.

I like what Adam Carolla said the other day... "Have you noticed that all the Ivermectin experts are now tariff experts"?

They’re lying by conveniently omitting the fact that a lot of these countries erect trade barriers if not outright ban the importation of certain products.
