The president can have a huge effect on the economy with regulation and trade policy. The best way a president can encourage economic growth is to get out of the way. Every new regulation that is added costs businesses money, which means less available funds for hiring and reinvestment of capital.
Which, assuming that you are correct, proves my point.
How you mean?
Because if what you say is correct, that the best way a president can help the economy is to stay out, then they are not that important in my eyes.
Yes, but they can be detrimental.
Sure. However, as I said before I am not knowledgeable on the economy and would consider myself knowledgeable and opinionated on other issues.
I have found that you are very passionate about the environment, which is awesome. We definitely need to be better stewards of our environment. The problem is that I feel the only way we can win both economically and with the environment is to change a cultural mindset. The left appears to think that our environment can only be bettered through government regulation. I think this is a very cynical viewpoint of the American people and also is damaging to our economy.
There is a fallacy that most wealthy people care only about profits and don't care about our environment or social equality. I read A LOT of books by the wealthy and about the wealthy and this simply is not true. The point to saying this is that we can have a better environment without damaging regulations.
Also, I would gander that it's tough to be knowledgeable of other world issues without a basic knowledge of the economy as almost every issue is impacted by or has an impact on the economy.
