hen-White House chief economic adviser Gary Cohn speaks during a press briefing at the White House on September 28, 2017. Gary Cohn, President Trump’s former top economic adviser, is sharply criticizing the government shutdown, as he heads to Harvard for a fellowship.
In an interview with the Globe, Cohn called the shutdown, prompted by an impasse over Trump’s demand for $5.7 billion in border wall funding, “completely wrong,” and said the furloughing of thousands of federal workers “makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.”
“I don’t understand what the outcome is here, and I don’t understand where we’re going with it,” said Cohn, a free-trade advocate who resigned last March after Trump announced he was imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. “I’m confused as to what the White House’s strategy is on this a little bit.”..........Cohn will be one of 10 new fellows at the Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics...........A Democrat and former president of Goldman Sachs......To Read More.....
My Take - Does this make any sense? Perhaps we need to review the article. Regarding the shutdown Cohen is "confused, "doesn't understand where we're going" thinks the shut down is "completely wrong" and it "makes no sense whatsoever" - and repitition for emphasis - is "confused". Well, now we know why he's a former advisor.
The things we need to really take away from this is he's the former president of Goldman Sachs, a company that cheated their investors, and he's going to be a fellow at Harvard.
Goldman Sachs, Harvard and confused! Now it all makes sense.
