George supports the Democratic point of view while attacking the Republican economic point of view…very biased interviews and reporting as usual!!! George even tries to put words into Trump’s economist, Kevin Hassett, answers and interjects his own opinions…so biased as usual!

I cannot believe that Summers has such short sighted vision. The bigger picture that he is missing is the refinancing of debt that is due.if the US defaults it's over for everyone , so a short term correction is badly needed. Big picture people!!!
