    It's true that Trump's solutions are nonsense. But when mainstream economics & elite consensus fails, people turn to quack remedies. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/802669690350960640 …

        @mattyglesias people don't understand the real solutions or see distinction w/ quackery. Media used to differentiate for them.

        I think Trump's actual infrastructure plan involves tax cuts, so will have little stimulus effect, alas.

        Or they dispense with remedies and transaction altogether, and embrace a politics which is little more than a theater of grievance

        No, tax cuts. But they're unlikely to encourage more new projects, just make companies richer, so little stimulus.
