"SNIP...........

Paul Krugman: “One odd feature of U.S. politics is that businesspeople, especially small business owners, always seems to believe that they will do better under Republicans, even though history shows that business does better under Democrats. Small business owners supported Trump in the last election, despite ample evidence that he would be very bad for business.”

“And now they’re getting a rude awakening.”

Think of the TV coverage and headlines!

To Trump everything is show business.

It's not just small business owners who believe that, it's most of America. If we were smart & had an actual marketing department, we'd counter that by telling America that republicans are good for BIG business & a BUBBLE economy. Tax breaks & deregulation for big business & a bubble economy where the rich get in while things are cheap, run up the price, & then sell when it's high. They buy low again when it all crashes.

Better ideas, with data & history to prove it, yet the notion that Rs are better for the economy & personal finance is pervasive.
We're obviously doing something wrong, because the truth is resonating
