It is clear that certain advisors to the Trump Campaign were under investigation by the FBI well before Simpson and Steele made the Steele report available to the FBI. But lets suppose instead that the entire FBI investigation was started because of the Steele report. We know the Steele report...

Although this thinking made sense when we were on a gold standard, we are not on that standard. Now we are on a productivity per dollar standard. Revision in thinking is needed. You have to update. You now have to think in terms of productivity per dollar, which relates to productivity per...

That's a statement that depends on somewhat arbitrary criteria. Even after consideration of the criteria, one must make a per capita adjustment. After that is done, where does the U.S. stand? If you just define powerful as military might per capita then I don't think there will be much...

And maybe smoke a blunt at the same time. "All that heat man, it's down there in the bottom of the ocean, kool man. Cool water rises, hot water falls, kool, really kool. " The global warming folks have their own physics. They learned the basic technique from Trump -- a Lie is Truth, The Truth...

Have you studied MMT economics?

In modern money theory, this is not a concern. Continuous deficits (small) are manageable. But the size of the deficits must be managed properly. One might look back to the WPA during the Depression and back even further to Keynes who famously said even if you have to hire people to dig a...

It is my fault not yours.. I posted mainly for those who already know at least something about MMT. I started to post a long introduction which is what would be required for someone not knowing anything about MMT. But then I realized it was going to take me entirely too long. So I deleted...

This Bloomberg Headline, "Leading Democrats Are Backing One of the Most Radical Economic Plans in Years," followed by the subheading, "It would also be expensive and disruptive, particularly for business." caught my interest as this is the first time in my memory that a proposal coming...

When I banter with you folks, why do I feel like I'm at the nickle slots in a pink and gold Trump casino, a cigarette dangling from my pallid lips. At my elbow a half melted cube of ice floats in a warming sea of Teachers scotch in a Libby tumbler. We vibrate, the tumbler and I, to the jangle...

He has now matched his spectacular 17 month performance with the largest crowd ever to attend an inauguration, and the largest Tax Cut in human history!!! And he did it while freeing all of the American prisoners abandoned by foreign born Obama in North Korea. His amazing achievements are...

Your Joking of course. He had Mother Russia, which by the way is a major world power, working 24-7 non-stop to flood the internet with "alternative facts". He had some major fat cat Republicans feeding his campaign. He had all the lies on his side. He also had the Republican Party, the...

Probably there is another reason as well. He very likely recognizes the difficulty of any independent candidate winning an outright victory in the electoral college (270 votes). The election would then go to the House where there is no chance for an independent to win. If the House should...

Sixteen months is too soon to allow reliable evaluation of a new administration's performance. But what we see so far is rather disturbing on the ethical/moral front.

Here is where you can access Bloomberg's speech, "Honesty Matters," at Rice for free! It's germane in our 2018 America.

“There are infinite ways in which the embassy move is horrible, counterproductive, destructive,” said Daniel Seidemann, an Israeli attorney who specializes in Jerusalem affairs. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/26/world/middleeast/jerusalem-us-embassy.html...

Ha ha ha.

That's what demagogues do, of course. And it is surprisingly effective.

Trump is disgusting. And those that turn a blind eye are fools.

He is already here. He arrived Jan. 20th, 2017.

There s something about this that suggests it was laundered at a St. Peterburg laundromat. Grid your loins!
