One of the principal policy goals of President Trump’s administration is tax reform to create greater economic growth. Under former President Barack Obama, growth was very slow, finally settling into a “new normal” of 2 percent growth, or less. The Left seems satisfied with the slow growth rate.

The voices of the Left deride the idea of economic growth, even condemning the idea of trying to grow the economy. Ali Velshi on MSNBC ridiculed the idea of vigorous growth, the completely bald Velshi saying that “he has a better chance of growing a full, thick afro than the U.S. economy growing 4 percent, 5 percent, 6 percent.”
