Perhaps that was my point. Let's assume it was. Then is it good or bad for our species that we choose a leader that is more in touch with our nature. This is the question I would ask. And I would ask you to think about it deeply before responding. If it is any solace, I have always thought as...

Ideally, we should be constantly on guard against our nature; something we are much better at as we grow old. Could this be a reason why a 70-year-old president is a better bet then a 35-year-old? And yet we also have an example before our eyes that a mentally flawed person is a bad bet no...

Is it time to recycle already? Lots of material here: 1) Paula whatever; 2) Hillary's Cattle Futures "trades"; 3) Whitewater; 4) Vince Foster (everyone knows Hillary shot him); 5) Bill on the Tarmack; 6) The Foundation; 7) Travelgate; 8) The missing emails; 9) Uraniumgate; 10)Benghazi; 11)...

Both the thread title and the link in the original thread concern tax and tax rates. One of the important taxes, among many, that citizens pay is the Federal income tax. Aggregate data on this kind of tax is widely available. Your comment that, " I am sure they have in mind "wealth" for...

This is one of those areas of discussion where it is possible to furnish any particular piece of mis-information desired depending on which apple you choose to compare with which orange. The first step in getting useful information is simply to distinguish between gross income, taxable income...

while individual personal income tax returns are not publicly available, extensive agregate tax return data is readily available. Also, and this I could be quite incorrect about, I believe certain categories of tax returns are publicly available once they has been officially accepted by the...

Nice pyramid scheme.

I'll think about this more when I have time. And perhaps comment. thank you for the response.

What is being referred to here by "Fed intervention" is in fact a type of regulation, i.e., the regulation of the wholesale cost of money. Much of the discussion in the original post centered on the question of whether it is wise for the Fed to adopt an inflation target of 2% rather then let...

Ha ha ha. Yesterday it was Biden and millions of dollars (actual multiplied by 10s). Today, Thursday, this became "Billions" (actual multiplied by 1000). Tomorrow will it be "Biden and Trillions"??? The only thing that is going to calm him down is a valium and a padded cell. The only thing...

Yes. Nothing here that should be particulary concerning at this point. There is no indication of unusual solvancy concerns among private financial instituions. The problem is very short term due to a temporarily inadequate supply of funds in the fed funds market. The Federal Reserve can...

Some PhD scientists who have looked a climate studies in detail maintain that we are near the top of one of these long cycles, though they don't all agree on the cycle's period The data you posted may be some of the data they are looking at to inform their opinions.

Du hast nicht alle Tassen im Schrank!

This should be considered alarming; a warning! It is not that the reduction in world dollar reserves is extraordinary at this point but the trend is alarming. Probably it's no accident that the longer-term trend accelerated in 2016. If the U.S. continues its current stance of non-cooperation...

This is simply the combined result of the Fed reducing their inventory of bonds which reduces bank reserve accounts and the understandable desire for banks to put excess reserves to work at the highest rate they can with safety of principle. The Fed can handle this without limit.

A well written argument for moving forward with CO2 abatement. It contains at least one inconsistency. And it omits consideration of the most important alternative conclusion. The inconsistent argument arises when it is stated The scale of the effect must be demonstrated to be large enough to...

Fine. Just keep in mind that your ultimate success will require a change in strategy when the market peaks and we get into a recession and a bear market. How prescient you are in foreseeing changes in market trend, and how nimble in adjusting, are going to determine your long term net. Your...

Ii is going to go on as long as there is a gangster in the oval office, but with no indictment. A total waste of taxpayers money!

So let's see who will be indicted first. Hillary or Donald? Donald already has a bit of a head start having already being named as an unindicted co-conspirator in an indictment, having had to settle the Trump University Fraud case for 25 million out of court, having had to dissolve the Donald...

So why not just tell us. What has been exposed? Any crimes and indictments? Apparently you know something no one else in the world knows. So why not just out with it. We are waiting. On the other hand the Mueller investigation produced many indictments several guilty pleas, prison sentences...
