Talk:Stephen Moore (writer)

message: That's the title of one of his books, according to the "Bibliography"-section. And it goes on: "How George Bush's Ownership Society Will Make America Stronger." 
So given the giant bullcrap he's come up with so far, how does this hack still get work? Talk about living in a meritocracy...   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.75.201.175 (talk) 22:05, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: "Bullish on Bush"

message: Stephen Moore is not an economist -- the title of the page should be changed.  He is a commentator, maybe a policy analyst.  Calling someone an economist implies they have a doctorate in economics, which he does not.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.206.169.130 (talk) 08:16, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Requested move

message: Stephen Moore is widely quoted as having said
"Social Security is the soft underbelly of the welfare state [...] if you can jab your spear through that, you can undermine the whole welfare state."
(see numerous blog quotes, and indeed Paul Krugman)
Does anyone have a primary source for this? Earliest I've found is from  John Tierney, NY Times, 2005-01-23 MrArt (talk) 18:54, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

message: user:Safehaven86 added an NPOV flag, but there is no discussion in Talk about it. 
Krugman had another piece. http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/02/18/the-mystery-of-moore/ 
Several well-sourced criticisms seem to have been removed. If multiple WP:RSs say that he got his facts wrong, then that should go in. --Nbauman (talk) 20:59, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The original concern seems to have been over the allegedly cherry-picked nature of items listed in a previous criticism section. That section has since been removed. If anything, I would think that the bias in the article has swung to the other side: the Kansas Star issue was a pretty major scandal, and the article only devotes a single sentence to explaining what was wrong with Moore's numbers. I wouldn't be surprised if that issue accounts of a lot of Moore's notability at this point, his position at Heritage notwithstanding.50.191.21.222 (talk) 14:36, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: Why don't you post with your handle so everyone can see who you are? Hmmm? 
Also, there is no deflation, Moore has tripled-down on this brazen falsehood, and you can be sure I will definitely prove it. There will be no whitewashing. Cheers. soibangla (talk) 18:13, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:COPYVIO covers closely paraphrasing... which is exactly what you've done with the NBC source each time you've used it. I ensured your seemingly very personal need to have the data on inflation though was filled, so hopefully you can stop attacking my character just to push your own personal dislike/hatred of others on this site (diff). 2601:282:B00:B56A:7C59:D195:956C:26F9 (talk) 18:43, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  The lede should note why his nomination for the Fed was contentious 

message: I notice a lot of back and forth over the question of: is he a economist? Well he has a degree in economics.....and he has worked as one.....how exactly is he not one?Rja13ww33 (talk) 16:09, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Of course he is an economist and not just a "writer", not only has he worked as an economist, written a ton of articles on the subject in everything from Wall Street Journal, The Washington Times, The Weekly Standard and National Review, AND served as an economic advisor to the American President, overhauling the US tax policy for the Trump administration, which was eventually passed into law by Congress, etc., etc... of course he is an economist. The problem is politics, and overwhelming left wing bias on Wikipedia. TheOriginalVegan (talk) 01:02, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
