The situation in the west wing is deteriorating before our eyes. Will the President make it to next November? I'm not defending certified nut, Bolton, but only noticing that the revolving White House door does seem to have increased in rpm's. Things are getting not less absurd, but more so...

This is a well thought out, well written post, and a good attempt at pointing out that there is childish behavior all around. For this, I thank you. Where we would have disagreement however is on the balance. From my own point of view, and it's obvious many others share this same view, Trump...

I am in agreement with all of this except the last word. These factors you mention did not lead to the ACA's demise, not yet. But they did result in an even more flawed result than the untampered with ACA would have produced. You're certainly right that inept and bought poiticians on both...

In my opinion this is a problem that falls squarely on the Republican Party's shoulders. The Republicans went to Court to hand a mortal wound to the ACA -- The Supreme Court ruling permitted States to opt out of medicaid expansion leaving millions making too much to qualify for premium...

This is much ado about nothing. it's just another of endless examples of ridiculousness from a ridiculous, mentally ill President. But at least it has afforded UsualName an opportunity for a couple of hilarious posts. I suppose those few in Alabama who might have begun unnecessary hurricane...

Can you be a little more specific. By "huge balance of payments" do you mean a country such as Germany that exports much more than it imports?

that's great! You'll be ready to read the modern money theory economists (MMT). I realize now that I gave you an incorrect title for Wray's book. I have it in my library, so I just checked out the correct title. It is "Understanding Modern Money" by L. Randall Wray. That's more less a...

Your friend trump is enjoying looting the U.S. Tax payer. If you had any other News source other than FOX you'd know that.

With all due respect to AAAintheBeltway, when he posted "Trump is probably the single most intelligent president we've ever had.", he may have meant "most intelligent" in the "Chauncey Gardner" sense.

That part of the risk is, of course, the same risk you take on if you were to buy the stock rather than sell the put.

It appears you've already provided a fairly convincing argument all by yourself.

actually that's not true. Selling cash secured put options can be a fine why to acquire equities under the right circumstances.

and for the educated as well!

I found this on the Time Magazine site. Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the Trump administration “is trying to circumvent Congressional authority” and said the action should be struck down by the courts. “If it stands, future...

Please correct me if I am wrong. Federal budget year ends in Oct. The talk is about next years pentagon budget, not this years, Right? Next year's budget has a provision in the House bill forbidding any pentagon money from being diverted to building a wall. The Senate hasn't passed the...

some of this stuff is too difficult for you. For that I apologize.

But how would you know what everyone else thinks? That's amazing!

Its too complicated for my simple brain. I just use the numbers from other countries. When I do that a miracle happens. The all come out with amazingly lower medical costs and much better medical outcomes. I don't know how they do it. They must be fudging the numbers! I wonder if they don't...

The odd truth is that it is only the right wing of american politics that is talking about "free shit." The left explains how they will pay for "free shit", which makes it not "free shit". For example bernard is a advocate of medicare for all. It will be paid for by increased medicare taxes...

Confiscating? The only serious proposals I am aware of involve a buy back program and making sale of "assault weapons," what New Zealand and I call "military style," illegal. Do you have a link? I am most definitely oppose to confiscation! That would violate our U.S. constitution, I believe.
