President Donald Trump said that Kevin Warsh, his pick to lead the Federal Reserve, can get the U.S. economy to 15% growth and maybe even above that level, Bloomberg reports.

1. Biden said "um" once and got run out of town for "mental decline" so we can get this idiot instead...

[RandySF]

2. Anything the Fed does to try and stimulate that level of growth would be catastrophic in the long run.

[ProfessorGAC]

4. And, They Won't Get To That Number

Tge liquidity at the consumer level doesn't exist for $4 trillion of growth, in real terms.
At least not over less that 20 years.

3. Only 15% not 500% or 600% or even 1500% nt

[Scrivener7]

6. Eleventy seven gazillion percent!!1!

[Moostache]

5. Trump cannot math...

That is how you bankrupt casinos.
That is how you lose everything from inheritances that would have made BILLIONS in an index mutual fund.

That is how you can make stupid statements like drug prices dropping "500, even 600%".

The real tragedy is that too many of us on the left have real empathy and a desire to make the world better for everyone instead of taking everything we can grab from everyone else and making the world better for ourselves alone.

7. There is insufficient labor to make 20% of that number

No robots are not going to do all the work.

8. And he also sees

Horsies with wings, flying over Maralago. Yeah, I trust you.

9. The last time the GDP reached 15%: 1943, during the massive WWII buildup.

13. Maybe he is gearing up for WW3

He has certainly pissed off every country, even our allies.

10. I belive the technical term is "hallucinates"

[Celerity]

11. He is the biggest liar ever that US poltical leadership has produced.. He is insane. He is the stupidest POTUS ever, by

orders of magnitude. He is the most criminal and corrupt leader the US has ever had. Trumpism may very well be world-ending in terms of advanced human society..

12. I saw a live Brontosaurus in my back yard, too.

Do you suppose we were smoking the same thing?

Fox Business host Larry Kudlow questioned President Donald Trump after he claimed he could grow the economy by 15% to 20%.

"You know, I've been watching you and everybody else for years, and they say, 3% growth," Trump told Kudlow during a Tuesday interview. "We should grow 15 or 20 percent."

"We should be at 15%," he added.

"Well, 15 is a big number, sir," Kudlow pushed back.

"But Larry, you can do it," Trump insisted. "The problem is every time we used to grow at 15%. And, you know, when we were starting as a country, we were growing. Because we had spirit and we had the right incentives. Today we have a lot of socialism, a lot of communism."

"You may not agree with every number, but you have to love his optimism," Kudlow said before a commercial break.

15. We have a lot of communism?

What the hell is this moron saying. Is this just red meat code words for the idiot masses.
