This MAGAnomics riff off of Reaganomics sure would look good on camera. If only we had that technology available.

Introducing MAGAnomics
By Mick Mulvaney
Wall Street Journal
July 13, 2017
If the Trump administration has one overarching goal, its to Make America Great Again. But what does this mean? It means we are promoting MAGAnomicsand that means sustained 3% economic growth.
For most of our nations modern history, a healthy American economy meant one that grew at roughly 3.5%. That was the average growth rate between the late 1940s and 2007. Since then, it has hardly topped 2%.
The difference between those two growth rates is staggering. If the American economy had grown at only 2% between the end of World War II and 2000, average household income would have been roughly $26,000 instead of $50,000.
Over the next 10 years, 3% growth instead of 2% will yield a nominal gross domestic product that is $16 trillion larger, federal government revenues $2.9 trillion greater, and wages and salaries of American workers $7 trillion higher...

(15,543 posts)"fresh face" of republican lies about the economy. Rubio didn't make the cut.
No matter what phony-ass name the GOP gives it, their economic schemes will clobber the poor, sick, and working people of America, in order to make rich republicans richer. Same as it always was.
