I predict virtually none of the Trump Tariffs will ever amount to anything. It is a show for his base. He's a con man, and con men are actors. Just like Obama wasn't born in Kenya; Just like there is no Wall; Just like Mexico didn't pay for it; Just like you didn't get "something wonderful"...

Good for you. Congratulations! You got some nice advice from McGinnis above. I'll give you advice of another sort, and valuable as well. If at some point early in your career, either in the context of further studies or a first job, and you are faced either with making a lot of money but...

I'm a Libertarian, so my political philosophy, in general, lies well to the left of today's Republican party, which is best described using Nome Chomsky's term -- "Anarcho-Capitalists." I find plenty to criticize in the Democratic party's positions , but frankly the embracing of Trump, a...

So long as Trump continues to lie and insult our closest allies he will be ceding the moral high ground for himself and his party. He is a disgrace! I just heard his spokesperson thoroughly insult Trudeau in the most childish and undiplomatic way. Furthermore, Trump should be careful. The...

There can be no question that left has the moral high ground here.

Some people simply have more integrity than others. No argument there.

Unfortunately a single example to the contrary shows that your dictum, as you stated it in absolutes, is not correct, despite expressing common wisdom. Gore Vidal said "Common wisdom is nearly always wrong." I don't agree, but I do think it is often wrong. It is not when we believe something...

[underlining mine] Many are able to say this, no one has been able to prove it. To disprove it, however, seems almost a trivial task. All you need is one example. We wouldn't need to tax at all at the federal level. The government could just credit it's reserve account with as much money as...

He can't be indicted, he's President and he's already told everyone he can't be, but he can run for re-election from jail! Go "Fat Orange One."!!! MAPA -- Make America pay again!

Oh you mean Trumps is lying when he just repeated that Mexico would pay for the Wall? Well that little orange stinker! I am so disappointed in him, because he is usually such a straight shooter. And you are right, the tax cut and getting rid of all those pesky regs, like net neutrality, is...

ha ha ha, I really screwed up that post. I don't know how I managed to repeat those paragraphs. But thanks again. That's a valuable link you posted!

yah. Just being able to read'em is nice.

well at least you got great medical care and a new wall that Mexico paid for. That's kool!

Maybe he can't be indicted while he is President, and maybe he can't pardon himself, but I don't think there is any law that says you can't run for President while an inmate in a Federal Prison. So I say yes. He will run again in 2020, and his cell mate Manafort will chair his campaign again.

waking up .

I am going to enjoy taking him a box of Kentucky fried on Sundays. He'll make a deal with Bernie Madoff on the bottom bunk, after he insults him first of course, to soften him up a little. . He'll take all the white pieces and throw the dark pieces down to Bernie. If some of them end up on...

Do you know the year of the Citi refinancing? It is my understanding he couldn't get any new money from Citi after 1994. Refi wouldn't necessarily mean any new money. I believe it was Russian money (Deutsche Bank and Russian Mafioso connected Banks) that kept him out of the "homeless...

Thank you so much Ironchef for giving us this valuable link. For those who will read this and pay close attention, there is much valuable insight in Druckenmiller's remarks. I have read virtually everything I can get my hands on that George Soros has written re trading , if you want to call it...

The CNN example is a nice illustration of poorly presented data that can easily be misinterpreted . Or perhaps you posted it out of its original context, and it is not due to CNN at all but just being reported by them. Frankly it has the mark of someone more interested in spreading...

We have enough experience with supply side economics to permit the CBO to attempt to project what the likely outcome of Trump tax cuts will be on government revenue and deficits. (Of course, since these projections deal with the future, rather than the past where 100% accuracy is achievable...
