"The evidence is one-sided, but it is real evidence." LOL. That is a bad way to do analysis. It is a logical fallacy called the Texas Sharpshooter, or Cherry Picking. His evidence is not just one-sided, it is distorted in a disingenuous manner. I have rebutted his one-sided evidence in previous reviews, but it takes time and he gets paid to publish, I don't. The pattern is the same in his articles, to cherry-pick a few pieces of evidence that fits his ideology, then twist them into a narrative that is wrong on its face. But somebody with no idea about economics might really believe him.

Busler's articles are not real economic analyses. They are political propaganda, nothing more than sound bytes and spin.

I don't know if this is a typical comment of tRump opponents. But this article was roundly dismissed and debunked by almost a hundred and fifty people who took the time to comment on the article. It is rare to find any analysis that is so uniformly denounced. I have a Ph.D. in economics, you can take that for whatever you want, but there is real value in the wisdom of crowds. You want to believe this, be my guest.
