In case anyone needed a reminder, the Republican Party’s economic record is atrocious. All but four of the last 17 recessions over the past century have come under Republican presidents.
The idea that the GOP is some force of economic strength is absurd.
Yes.
If you want a real-life example of the Dunning–Kruger phenomenon, Republicans (and the Right in general) are there for you, with their belief that they know everything worth knowing about economics, no further study necessary.
(This partly reflects the Right’s intellectual laziness, but also:
They REALLY don’t want to acknowledge that trickle-down economics are crap. So they encourage this “move along, nothing to see here” view toward understanding economics.)
