I didn't say that we hadn't corrupted the founders intention of establishing a plutocratic Republic where only male property owners had a say in government, did I? I,in fact, said the opposite. I said, or implied, we had corrupted what the Founders had intended. But you most not blame our...

Oh, so you've been watching John Wayne Movies. I couldn't let that dumb remark of yours go without commenting. Franklin did not say, "A democracy ma'am, if you can keep it." He said, "A Republic ma'am, if you can keep it." Well so far, until Trump, we've kept it: a plutocratic Republic...

Hmmm, good government leads to concentrated power in remote elites. OK, if you say so. Or said another way, " Whatever."

While your post above makes sense, I am having difficulty relating it to your original post below. It is rather clear you have some point you'd like to make not related to the subject of this thread. You might be channeling the thought that "America was built on cheap labor," without realizing...

But is it? I may not be valid to you personally depending on your situation, but deflation or inflation can affect the living standards of million of Americans.

The trick is to balance the deflationary forces you mention with inflationary forces. An inflationary force is money printing and easy credit. Ideally we will print just enough money to balance the deflationary force so we will end up with neither deflation nor inflation. It seems the central...

You're an adult. I assume you can read. I'm not going to spoon feed you like a one-year old.

There are two Trump appointments that are going to do extreme damage. One is Kavanaugh, the other Barr. Let's hope the damage these two do doesn't turn out to be fatal. It's bizarre that most everyone recognizes that Trump is afflicted with severe narcissism and has sociopathic tendencies...

You're not taking nearly seriously enough the threat Trump's mental condition poses to our Republic in a time of crisis.

:rolleyes: Keep this up, and you may get summoned to Washington to help "run" things.

:rolleyes:

So having made that observation, why are you a Trump drone?

What is amazing is that you are just noticing that now. The Trump administration "crumbled up and threw the Constitution in the trash" on day one!

Likely the job loss would not be as great as you project. Jobs will be lost, but new jobs will appear. This will result in a shift in jobs from local to online and to manufacturing the apparatus of the "new economy." The main cause of permanent job loss will probably remain automation and...

If you accept the findings of the study referred to in the OP, then you're suggesting that traders who make money are less intelligent than average. I find myself unable to disagree.

Trumps name is definitely going down, and not just on Treasury checks -- down in U.S. History-- He'll never be forgotten! Just what he wanted. He's in a class all by himself. He's the only one to qualify so far: Our first Jackass President!

it was an error. sorry. See my post #40 above. Get back in touch once you have read Quiggin's book.

She is young, and there is much to learn. This, however, will strike terror into your heart. She is so charismatic, but not in the TV-Evangelist way that Trump is, that she's quite likely to be your President someday. Hell, I'd vote for her over Trump right now, but then I'd vote for my...

Let's not make excuses for our incompetent leadership. We knew this was coming by late December. Prior to that, the Trump administration had dismantled the office whose job it was to keep track of viruses that could cause a pandemic and give advance warning to the President. Lets not sugar...
