Goldman Sachs CEO Scorches Kamala Harris for Turning a Report from an Independent Analyst Into ‘Something That’s Bigger than What It Was Intended To Be’
EXCERPT:
SOLOMON: “So that report, which was mentioned last night in the debate, came from an independent analyst. And it's -- it's interesting, Scott, I think a lot more has been made of this than should be. What the report did is it looked at a handful of policy issues that have been put out by both sides, and it tried to model their impact on GDP growth. The reason I say a bigger deal has been made of it is what it showed is the difference between the sets of policies that they put forward was about two tenths of one percent, OK? So economy grows. OK. If you took these particular sets of policies they looked at -- and by the way, we have no idea whether these things that are talked about will ultimately be implemented -- what was the growth impact? The differential was two tenths of one percent. So, you know, I think our clients are trying to look at what's going on from a policy perspective and make judgments. I think this blew up into something that's bigger than what it was intended to be.”
