^^ Not true. Steve Moore, Art Laffer and other notable leading economists say Trump's economic plan will create upwards of 6% growth. And further, the relief would be felt immediately.

Trump and his spokespeople have already said that most of his "positions" are just suggestions. Trump made a lot of very strong sounding proposals during the primary campaigns that he has recently "softened."

Laffer and other economists are no different than any other Trump supporters. They believe that Trump will do the smart things that he has suggested he might do and they do not believe that he will do the idiotic things that he has suggested he might do.

There is nothing in Trump's past that suggests to me that he is trustworthy. A man who has turned to the federal bankruptcy courts on four separate occasions for relief from his creditors does not give me much of a comfort level when it comes to jump starting the world's largest economy.

A 6 percent growth rate is not beyond the realm of possibility, but to achieve that goal will require a strong leader who will fight to roll back regulations; repealing legislation like the Dodd-Frank and Sarbanes-Oxley Acts; and signing legislation to lower taxes into law a high priority. I just don't see Trump as that kind of leader. Deal makers are better qualified to be U.S. Senators than U.S. Presidents.

As far as my opinion being "wrong, that is nonsense. Future events will prove whether my opinion was well founded or not, but your listing of names of economic experts who support Trump is not going to prove anybody's opinion wrong or right. It is amazing that you do not understand that simple fact.

In my opinion, Donald Trump has presented no credible plan to address the exploding national debt. In my opinion, neither has Hillary Clinton presented a credible plan to address the national debt. In my opinion, Ted Cruz has presented a credible plan to address the national debt by specifically naming five major federal agencies that he fight to eliminate.

None of the above statements in the poorly written paragraph above may be proven wrong, because they are each an example of a statement of opinion.

Most people can readily discern between a statement of fact (which may very often be proven correct or incorrect) and an obvious statement of opinion. Prefacing every opinion with such explanatory preambles ("In my opinion") for those who cannot or refuse to intuit such distinctions themselves, makes for tedious reading. I will continue to target an audience who can differentiate between a fact and an opinion without the benefit of such preambles.
