Ben Stein: Trump Economics 'Sheer Idiocy' "It breaks my heart, it makes me want to cry because I'm Republican." 4.5.2016 Donald Trump is not winning Ben Stein's money... or his vote. In an interview with CNN Newsroom Monday, the actor/conservative activist Ben Stein called Donald Trump's views on economics "sheer idiocy". Stein's criticism of Trump came when hosts asked him to weigh in on comments Trump recently made that the U.S. economy might be headed for another recession, which Stein called "nonsense." "It breaks my heart, it makes me want to cry because I'm Republican, I've never voted for a Democrat," Stein said. "And to think the guy who's our likely standard bearer has such nonsensical ideas of every single aspect of the economy is just breathtakingly horrible." Though Stein appreciated Trump's stance on defense and foreign policy, he felt that "his ideas about the economy are just absolutely bewilderingly foolish." "There's just nothing factual about what he's saying," Stein said. "We are not in a bubble. By the way, most of these metrics are measured. The unemployment rate is not 20 percent, something he's been saying, ... [he] might as well say it's 2 million percent. Might as well count the dead as being unemployed." Stein also felt that if there were a recession on the rise, Trump's economic plan wouldn't help it, especially the candidate's desire to renegotiate trade deals with China and Mexico. http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/ben-stein-trump-economics-sheer-idiocy
