This could become, I suppose, a motive of both good and bad governments. If it is a motive of good government, then it is good. If it is a motive of bad government, then it is a bad. At least your answer makes more sense than C.O.'s. Pleased to learn that you read Chomsky, who has much of value...

You wrote "[the government] just wants to regulate and control." Whether the result of regulation and control is good or evil, regulation and control in itself can not be the raison d'être for government, as your statement implies. If you believe government is bad, you will help create bad...

If we understood the origins of AmTrak we'd understand AmTrak's problems -- just as if we understand the origins of Obamacare we'd understand its defects. In each case, detractors could not stop the inevitable, so they did the one thing they could. They introduced poison pills into the enabling...

You're assuming here that I don't see through the exaggerations and fabrications regardless of the slant they are delivered from. But you get my point . They can't all be right. I would never agree that there is equal fault all around. Just as in divorce, one side invariably bears more fault...

There is some indication in this Cato paper that the writer does not correctly understand why the Fed decided it would be useful to pay a small interest on excess reserves. Also this: "As a result, the introduction of interest on reserves in October 2008 and the resulting accumulation of...

I see you've bought in to the Kremlin line. What would be hilarious, if it weren't so serious, is that the only ones attempting to overthrow the government are the tea party "deepstater conspiracy nuts" who are held spellbound by Kremlin disinformation. And ironically Trump, who when it comes...

You must realize that what you write above can not be true unless these News & Commentary organizations all have similar viewpoints. They don't of course. Fox commentary is 180 deg out of sync with that of the other channels. Therefore either CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, AND NBC are mostly wrong...

Anywhere! Just 1 minute will do it.

As bad as Roy Moore is, there is actualy worse! Mississipi's job is to keep Alabama off the bottom. Meet Mississippi's new Governor.

Republican Rick Crawford stepped aside so that Jim Jordan could take his place on the Intelligence Committee. Crawford tweeted that [Coach] "Gym" Jordan would "add critical bandwidth and legal expertise to the House Intelligence Committee. :rolleyes...

Moron's. It's a drop in the bucket compared to the value of future markets lost that may never return. Not only that, our trade balance with China is getting worse not better. Your President is an imbecile! Tariffs are a 19th Century tactic. They failed in the 20th Century just like they are...

Official? Does that word apply to economics?

I don't think you quite understand MMT. It's been here for a long time. It is simply an explanation of how money works, brought forward to a post commodity based money world. You might be confusing some proposals of economist or politicians who have used MMT to justify their proposals...

I regret that there is at least some truth in what you've posted.

? The same way the U.S. will always be the leader????

"Bing Boing Boing Bing Bing Boing" -- Donald J. Trump.

Though it will be of no help in this particular instance, let me reiterate what the insufferable McNeil said. He said , "Never short a market because you think it is too high." And to that I'll add that a market that is too high is more likely to go higher than it is to go down!

You may be confusing a depression with a common recession.

we are all going to be subjected to this endless stream of disinformation from now until Nov. 2020. Might as well get used to it. Wouldn't be surprised to find that that Hotcakes moron's account is laundered via a VPN coming out of St. Petersburg.
