I will repeat what I have said before: Bannon is a fake intellectual. He is truly not brilliant. But the fact that he has distinct, well-articulated ideas at all… sets him apart in the political vacuums created on both sides of the Atlantic. https://t.co/sR9jhWhYdP

Stephen Moore (senior economic adviser to the Trump campaign): "Capitalism is a lot more important than democracy."pic.twitter.com/FHJDMr4GLQ

Coming back to Stephen Moore's radicalism. The jaw-dropping line is "capitalism is more important than democracy" – it's like a liberal caricature of what conservatives think, but it turns out to be what they actually think. But there's more 1/ https://t.co/cS2OQBWgnd

What you can easily miss is that Moore is calling for what amounts to a loyalty purge at the Fed 2/ pic.twitter.com/rxRu1UoQgy
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) April 15, 2019
After all, what does Moore think makes those hundreds of economists worthless? He had multiple confrontations with Fed analysis in 2008 and after, in which he kept claiming that the Fed's policies would produce soaring inflation. Obviously Fed economists disagreed 3/

They were, of course, completely right; he was completely wrong. So on what basis does he declare them "worthless", with the wrong model? Well, their model is wrong in the sense that it doesn't confirm his (false) prejudices. 4/
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) April 15, 2019
It would be interesting to ask who he considers to be "good" economists. I'm sure that having been wrong about everything for the past decade plus is a key qualification. Anyway, the point isn't just that Moore is a bad analyst. He wants to purge anyone competent 5/
— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) April 15, 2019
So people who suggest that a Moore appointment wouldn't be a disaster are missing the bigger picture. Trump is trying to do to the Fed what he's doing at DHS, purging the professionals and replacing them with apparatchiks. Moore would be just the beginning 6/

This man would look much better with a bald head. Really. He just doesn't get it. Could it be that he actually has a rather low self esteem? How sad.

… in a free Nation where Slaves are not allow’d of, the surest Wealth consists in a Multitude of laborious Poor; for besides that they are the never-failing Nursery of Fleets and Armies, without them there could be no Enjoyment, and no Product of any Country could be valuable. To make the Society happy and People easy under the meanest Circumstances, it is requisite that great Numbers of them should be Ignorant as well as Poor. Knowledge both enlarges and multiplies our Desires, and the fewer things a Man wishes for, the more easily his Necessities may be supply’d.
