[Beginning of recorded material]
Rick Rosner: Trickle down ideas are that if you let super rich people pass on their hundreds of millions. Their heirs will use that money to hire people who aren’t rich. I believe this idea was expressed by Trump’s budget guy.
But he is one more of the crew of guys who mostly appear transparently creepy. I am talking about Mick Mulvaney, who looks like he would wear pointy shoes and kick you in the nuts in a bar fight, and then when you were down he would stab, stab, stab you with the pointy shoes.
Scott Douglas Jacobsen: [Laughing].
Rick Rosner: ven though, it has been proven over and over again that when you give rich people money they just keep the money. They don’t send it out into the world of employment and commerce.
They invest in more stocks and bonds and real estate and things that don’t increase employment.
