There is no way there will be another shutdown. There is no way Trump will actually try to declare a State of Emergency. There is no support for either. He's going to take what they give him, and he'll lie and declare victory. Of course he'll also lie and threaten in the meantime. He may try...

Not only to I like this, I like it immensely! In the 1980s there was major bracket collapse. This has been harming us ever since.

You're playing dumb here, but no one's buying it. Are you trying to tell us that when Trump said he was going to build a wall and Mexico would pay for it that you believed him? ; that when he keep insisting that Obama wasn't a citizen, even long after the announcement of his birth in the...

I'll be over it when I see that asshole in handcuffs. You going to make the same mistake again? I hope to god you learned your lesson.

If those schemes have the affect of significantly avoiding taxation, then chances are that, on close examination, they are illegal Yet many get away with them, such as Donald's Daddy transferring income to his three year old to be taxed at the child's rate. I suppose he had to make the three...

I think it is entirely reasonable to say that you guys who voted for an obvious, psychopathic TV performer in preference to an uncharismatic and annoying, but competent, alternative got exactly what you deserve. The problem for the rest of us is that we don't deserve it. We told you the guy...

We should tax all net income, both earned and unearned (inheritance is unearned income) at exactly the same rates and use the same progressive brackets for both. This is inherently fair as everyone from the poorest pauper to the wealthiest business magnate would then pay exactly the same rate...

The United States can not go Bankrupt, therefore Social Security cannot go bankrupt. What can happen however is idiots can intentionally damage the Social Security System by by not following through on the Trustees' recommendations based on the actuaries calculations. The Trustees have been...

I have no idea whether cockroaches are disposed to consider the welfare of their fellow cockroaches, but it seems we humans are so afflicted. What to do about it then? -- assuming we are human and not a cockroach.

Why not consult your local psychologist for answers to your questions?

Of course. However if you suddenly produce much less of what others, want you may have a hard time reducing what you want in proportion.

You raise good points. One of our numerous problems is we are not leaving enough capital with the poor and middle class. This is very, very bad for future social stability. We don't need to make the wealthy poor to help the poor and middle class, but the wealthy must do their part. And that...

A fool is incapable of recognizing he is a fool. That is one of the diagnostic characteristics of fools everywhere.

When will we formally recognize that Trump is a psychopath? Of course tomorrow tonight we will see and hear a different Trump, a Trump of the speech writers' creation. But come Wednesday morning there will still be a dangerous psychopath in charge of our nation.

Rubbish!! (or worse)

As always, yes and no. Nice comment though, with considerable thought behind it.

Thank you for pointing this out. Since we transitioned to fiat currency in 1971 we have, in effect, been on a productivity standard. Where the buying power of the currency is backed by productivity. When there was a tighter link between labor and productivity, it could be said that we were on...

Which goes to show how easy it is to jump to the wrong conclusion whether judging, in 2019, a costume party held thirty-three years ago, or predicting , in 2019, what the climate will be like 100 years from now.

I had not seen that photo that everyone is talking about until now. It's hilarious. I assume those two, whoever they are, went to the same party as a team. Individually I'd say the costumes, taken out of context, are in bad taste. But as a pair, in almost any context, their ridiculously...

Don't be too sure. Pizza know-how on the Board is non-existent. Senate Republicans are aware of that. They have been chomping at the bit to make up for it with a key appointment. Cain fits their requirements better than anyone except Trump himself. Of course no one knows more about Pizza than...
