But he IS to blame. Completely!!! Well. I take that back. He's not Completely to blame, even though it was his inept administration that eliminated the federal office set-up specifically by the Obama administration to head of pandemics. It's the incredibly self-serving Republican Party and...

Yup. Both pretty damn bad Presidents!

Trump's either innocent by reason of insanity, or else he is a sociopath criminal who knows exactly what he is doing. I personally think he's the latter.

Yup . It's at least a half million we've managed to kill, or be responsible for their deaths, in Iraq and Afghanistan. In the process we managed to turn a number of our young men and women into paper weights by arranging for them to get their arms and legs blown off. Nevertheless the total of...

So Japan maintained individual Freedom and still kept the virus under control: 1] because they had national coordination which the US under Trump lacked, 2] because the government believed in science. , 3] Japanese are polite and well mannered and care about others and voluntarily wore masks...

Bush was horrible and infinitely better than Trump. All bush did was make up a story about WMD that didn't exist, kill 100K+ innocent Iraqis, Torture people at Cheney's helpful suggestion in "rendition centers" in Eastern Europe, and permanently destabilize Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria leaving a...

How is it possible for anyone to rank Trump, a fucking incompetent sociopath, rapist, gangster, pussy grabber, pathological liar JACKASS above anyone! He deserves, at best, to be in a 3-way tie with Buchanan and Jackson. The man needs to be in a jump suit in cuffs and shackles.

This Dalio article posted by Nooby (see below) can be highly recommended to several here who seem to have an interest in MMT but not much understanding of it. This article states what I too have pointed out, which is that MMT is to some extent an explanation of what the U.S. Treasury and...

Are there really this many morons, or has ET become a magnet for them? And what's even more surprising is how many morons there are among lawyers. It would seem impossible that the regard for lawyers that the average American has could go any lower; yet the seemingly impossible is indeed...

If you bury your savings in a coffee can in the backyard rather than invest at a real rate of return at least equal to the inflation rate, then I suppose it would be understandable why you think as you do. But why would you do that?

you meant, perhaps, "fallibility." Your observation that, "The "real world" is not to far from MMT...", is right on the money. The most inarguable MMT contentions come from examination of "real world" treasury-central bank balance sheets. To some extent MMT is just a formal recognition of...

I apologize if anything I posted in the least suggested the quote came from you -- a quote which is accurate but silly, and highly misleading too, as it completely misunderstands the views of the economists it is purported to represent. I thought your post was well done and it should have been...

I keeping with the seriousness of your concerns re our recent rigged election I shall pass on to you my recipe for" Cucumber Gimlets"; CuCumber Gimlets: 2 parts Cucumber Gin 1 Part Lime Juice 1/2 Part + 1/2 teas. Mint Syrup mix in cocktail shaker with ice. strain into chilled Martini glass...

Those are pretty amazing odds! :D

All of the prominent MMT economists whose work I have read and studied would express a far more nuanced view of deficits than the simplistic view seemingly embodied in the silly statement above. What the MMT economists have correctly pointed out is that deficits can be both too high AND too...

It is indeed. The 25th Amendment should have been invoked. That became impossible when those in his cabinet who might have been inclined to remove him from office for being mentally unfit resigned or were fired. Trump replaced all those who left the cabinet, even those forced out because of...

That Trump didn't win is the best evidence that the election was rigged. :D

If only you could understand one thing, you could figure things out for yourself. What you're missing is that Trump is a "sociopath". He has what psychiatrists would diagnose as a severe Anti-Social Personality Disorder (ASPD). Look it up, note the diagnostic criteria. Then compare those...

I hope you didn't send money. If you did. they are wasting your money. Only about 8-9 Million has gone for the nuisance suits. another ~25% is going into the RNC coffers. The remainder of the >$200 Million raised by Trump since the election is going effectiverly into Trump's pocket, according...
