Don't want to do that.
So I kind of looked around.
Is this consistent with Ben Shapiro's worldview?
Does he think GDP, the aggregate economic activity in a country, the bottom line number, really doesn't tell you that much.
But for simple people like Ben, who
aren't sophisticated in their understanding of economics, that's important.
GDP, GDP, GDP.
Never hinting at the things that it doesn't measure.
Never hinting at what a distorted number that is, just like the inflation rate or the employment rate.
I mean, these are not really real numbers.
But is he really a guy who cares about GDP or economic activity or some people getting rich more than he cares about the lives of his fellow Americans?
Boy, that's a pretty heavy charge.
You'd hate to level that against anyone.
You'd hate to claim that about anyone.
Could this be a guy who really only cares about a foreign country?
So we went looking.
So first and famously, don't even put it on the screen because I'm sure you've seen this, there was Ben Shapiro saying, you know, I'd be willing to vote for Bibi Netanyahu for president of the United States if only it were constitutionally allowed.
Huh?
You want some foreigner to run our country?
Who even thinks like that?
