She annihilated the moderator on this question. I still can't believe he tried to imply Obama's stimulus package somehow caused lack of growth over the last half decade.

The Federal Reserve was begging for fiscal stimulus, for heaven's sake.

The same way we assure minorities receive equal pay?


How do we do that?

In a free market, aren't salaries typically based on merit?

That should be the only factor, but it isn't in real life unfortunately. There's non-zero bias that can be measured (don't have numbers, but it's there).


yeah i know my question was on how we go about regulating it (because I really don't know)

Isn't that supposed to be his strong point?

Based on his buisness record, nope.

Why is the moderator pushing freshwater school economics at the debate?

He's a fox news person. He's better than any of the others on that network, but he is still one of them. It's probably an unconscious bias.

For a guy with a degree in economics from Penn U, it's kinda sad.

it's almost certainly just him being obtuse, I'd imagine pretty much every international businessman understands developmental economics.

Most people think the last jobs report wasn't good for either candidate. Kind of in the middle.

Trump is very strongly constrained by the fact that it's hard to be internally consistent while lying out the wazoo.

She can't tell a lie very well but she's extraordinarily at failing to recall them.
