    Larry Kudlow

    The man who recently told us that wealthy people can't be corrupt because they are wealthy may have the honor of being the person who has been wrong on the economy more than anyone else.

    It was the eve of the biggest economic collapse since the Great Depression. Many on Wall Street worried that a recession loomed and that the housing bubble was bursting.

    And then there was Larry Kudlow, the man President Trump just tapped to be his top economic adviser.

    “Despite all the doom and gloom from the economic pessimistas, the resilient U.S. economy continues moving ahead,” Kudlow wrote on Dec. 7, 2007, in National Review, predicting that gloomy forecasters would “wind up with egg on their faces.” Kudlow, who previously derided as “bubbleheads” those who warned about a housing bubble, now wrote that “very positive” news in housing should “cushion” falling home sales and prices.

    Any bets on how long he will last or if he can get a permanent security clearance?

    Too bad you don’t care that Bush reps went to congress 3 different times and warned of the bubble. The Dems told them to screw off in YouTube hearings. You can search them. Honestly Freddie and Fannie were paying the black caucus members hasomely. That group were the real problems in pushing back. The white caucus I guess you would say wouldn’t cross them. Then we got what’s we deserved. That is a Dem program. Your ignorance. Your ignoring. Sure Larry K is a problem right!

    Be nice if people cared more about their country than a party.

    One, the entire country was wrong about the housing bubble. Most believed the government would prevent it.

    Two, Kudlow is probably the quintessential Republican economic commentator, one would expect the left to connip.

    What are you worried about? He'll be gone in 6 months just like everyone else except for family.

    Not the entire country. Many were smart enough not to bet on government bailouts. Many were not. It pissed me off that those who bought wisely were punished for being responsible by a government rewarding those who were foolish.

    Republican or not, if he's an idiot, I don't want him. So far, it appears the WH is now desperate to fill posts and none of "the best people" are coming forward.

    Ok, not all.

    My impression is he's as good as a tv commentator can be. He's not trained in economics.

    Under federal law, two years being clean is enough for a security clearance.

    These issues are not new. Clinton's political appointees had security managers in a tizzy.
