What a Country! Our history is littered with ridiculous overstatements and absurdities, like the above, utter garbage, attributed, possibly incorrectly, to Franklin Graham. Here's another fine example of ridiculous overstatement and reactionary, trash spewing by James Tabor, said in the debate...

WoW! Those are GREAT ODDS. It wouldn't be wise to put your entire million on Trump, but how about 500K long on Trump! I mean 91%! opportunities like this don't come around every day. I say, go for it. Las Vegas will be happy to take your bet.

There is no question that nationally the U.S. response has been uncoordinated, haphazard, insufficient and ineffective compared to what other developed nations have done. The U.S. response to Covid-19 stands in stark contrast to The U.S. Public Health Response to SARS . [see for example...

I would think those are questions for the courts to consider. My comments had do to with the nature of the crimes committed by Trump and Nixon versus those of Epstein.

This is why so many Americans support Planned Parenthood, ready access to the morning after pill and equal and free access to abortion early in pregnancy, as opposed to maintaining abortion as something only the well healed can access. Abortion is not something anyone wants, but many people...

In the long standing debate over nature or nurture, it would seem nurture is gaining the upper hand. In other words, genetics, i.e., race, is less important than was once thought. (Perhaps much less!) The take away is that every country should strive for the best nutrition and best schools...

exactly, he's never understood when it is time to sit down and listen.

Does it matter? Why would anyone choose a vindictive, criminal, sociopath over a harmless , highly experienced, guy who will appoint top notch people to run the government.

This graph is worthless. The Y-axis is neither log nor linear. And it is number of cases. You have to correct for population before anything makes sense and ideally for population density, but that's quite difficult to figure out how to do it properly and to collect the necessary data but I'm...

You seem to harbor a few misunderstandings re the fed. The Fed does not buy equities, but recently has been authorized, I believe, to accept some equities as collateral. Typically, in the past, they have only accepted Treasuries as collateral, During the financial crisis, however, the Fed...

Mosler is a fascinating character because of his very wide ranging interests. In my opinion he is a clear and concise writer. It seems he was greatly influenced by L. Randall Wray and Bill Mitchell. I just looked him up on Wiki, his is a truly fascinating career. Very unusual...

Well, GDP will only increase if demand increases. No one will produce what they can't sell, not for long anyway. The Trillions spent into the economy compensate for the drop in money velocity that has occurred with shelter in place and closing of consumer-centric businesses. If we spent that...

1) Trump's list of things to fuck-up.

This parabolic rise in stock prices can be maintained forever so long as GDP increases parabolically. :D

The European Monetary Union badly needs a Euro Bond! They will have continual problems until the finally create a truly unified monetary union. One solution to the problem, not the best one though, would be to jettison Germany from the EU monetary union.

Or else she had a parent, could his name have been Freddy, Jr.?, that grew up with Trump, and one day that parent, ah "Freddy", just let it slip to little Mary that his brother was a Jackass and cheat. Ya'think, maybe? In Trump's life, it's a hot, sultry July evening about eight O'clock. The...

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I really appreciate it!

As Early as March 2021 we could see federally coordinated wide spread testing for live virus with contact tracing and quarantining. The incoming administration will have a plan of attack ready to roll out on day one! We should have a vaccine by 3rd quarter of 2021 if not before.

Thanks for your pointing out the Macro Musings Podcast. I found this Tankus fellow's article that I referenced to be remarkable in its clarity and insight. Sometime after 2005 I became a serious student of Economics, and it wasn't long before I came across the MMT economists and began to read...

FYI. from Wiki: Ocasio-Cortez attended Yorktown High School, graduating in 2007.[18] In high school and college, Ocasio-Cortez went by the name of "Sandy".[19] She came in second in the Microbiology category of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair with a microbiology research...
