President Trump's pick for Federal Reserve board says main economic issue is decline in male earnings.

The drop in earnings for men is the biggest challenge facing the economy, according to Stephen Moore, the man President Donald Trump has said he wants to nominate to the Federal Reserve board.

“I want everybody’s wages to rise, of course. People are talking about women’s earnings. They’ve risen,” he added. Moore has not yet been officially nominated for Fed governor, a post that carries a 14-year term. White House officials have said they are continuing to vet his background, and it’s not clear whether he has the requisite votes in the Senate to be confirmed.

TRICKLE DOWN IS FAILED POLICY. Led us to the WORST RECESSION SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION

I make a nice income but I also haven’t seen much of an increase since 2003. I certainly don’t have the same buying power I used to. I now have to think about going on vacations and making big ticket purchases where I didn’t have to 15 years ago. The cost of living has caught up.

Oh? Said the women making $.80 to the men’s $1.00.

Is he insane? He needs to go away!!!

Hell yeah men need more money,when u right u right 😏

A stupid comment by a stupid economist...not the guy I want running the Fed.

I agree

This guy belongs to medieval times. Completely shocked that no gop senator has stepped forward to give a hearty SenJohnMcCain thumbs down

Read this as “male earrings”.

This guy has zero credentials for working at the Federal Reserve Board.

Which in turn will effect birth rates because women will refuse to marry men who make less than them.

Good job explaining when this editorial was written. Nothing in either link clearly states that this was almost 20 years ago. I guess people are not untitled to a change of opinion, but keep up the outstanding reporting.

What you keep showing slightly racist people on your shows

Go back to your cave or the 1950s, just stay out of DC

“The biggest problem I see in the economy over the last 25 years is what has happened 2 male earnings, 4 black males....' Typical leftist smear 2 label him something. He was referring mainly 2 black males but apparently Blk men & their families don't 'matter' to liberals. 🙄

The biggest problem that I see with Trumps nominee is that real economists do not agree with him or consider him knowledgeable about economics; that he is a woman-hater who would keep his foot on women's throats, economically; that he is owned by Trump.

He actually has a point, but it's not the wages, so much as the workforce participation rate. That said, he's a joke.

He left out a 'y'

This is the joke who was on CNN all the time making outrageous claims

This guy is a train wreck. No wonder Trump likes him.

He's right though

POS.
