This is inaccurate. Please read the article you gave a link to for more details. Of course the proposals being negotiated include speeding up processing, all sides believe that this is necessary. It is incorrect, however, to suggest that either side in the negotiations wants no restrictions on...

And what is the Republican response to sensible proposals by Mayorkas. They want to impeach him!!! If we want to fix the border problem, we must first fix the Republican party.

Reality check: Neither party has an open border policy. To claim so is political hyperbole intended to mislead. The Biden Administration desperately wants to get control of the border situation and has proposed practical legislation to do so. Republicans have made an untenable border...

Thank you for recognizing that the Fed does not make the decision to create more outside money. Blaming the Fed for more money being printed would be like blaming your toaster for making another piece of toast. [see the U.S. Constitution.] That said, we must recognize that more money must be...

It's important for all of us to realize that Mayorkas, arguably the most competent Homeland Secretary we have had, has put forth practical proposals to bring the border situation under control, but there is no possibility of there being enough Republican votes to pass the necessary legislation...

The recession talk in 2020-23 was speculative based on the FOMC's decision to Raise Rates to combat inflation. The underlying assumption is that the Philips curve of inflation to unemployment is reversible a certain region of the curve...

WTF is WWF? "World Wrestling Federation" ???

Yah, right, just like Stalin or Hitler, if either were still alive, could "have a chance of derailing the WEF mission". So we should be grateful for a Stalin or a Hitler (or a Donald Trump) ???! Just exactly what is the WEF mission? Would you like to explain that?

For several reasons this is nonsense.

When far-right, white nationalist "libertarian" Steve Bannon was casting about for someone to deliver the Republican party to him around a core message of government, "Deep State" corruption, he found it in a sing-song-voiced simpleton. A man of limited vocabulary and philosophically a tabula...

There are plenty of stats. What matters in politics, however, is not what is actually true but rather what is perceived as true. It is very easy to find out what is true and what isn't. However when we receive the wrong message from the right messenger we perceive the messenger to be telling...

That's right! What matters economically is what happens in aggregate.

Are we a well enough educated society to be allowed free speech? Approximately 30 million people are making me question whether we are; yet the alternative of having government regulated speech concerns me even more.

Imagine how much worse the situation would be if people weren't leaving, or worse yet, leaving and taking their houses with them. :D

What utter nonsense!

For reference: HFCS is virtually the same as table sugar dissolved in water once it hits our stomachs. In other words food and drink companies could substitute table sugar syrup for HFCS. The health affect on humans of these two sweeteners is virtually identical. The reason HFCS is used...

It's important to keep things in proper perspective, which headlines sometimes hide. "Slowing" to 4.5% growth should not be thought of as slow growth but simply "less amazing" for a country of China's size and population.

Thanks for that helpful information. It seems some of the Chinese ADRs continue to be listed. I believe it was those with a Chinese government controlling share that were forced to delist. Sinopec is one of these. Massive dividend and a very active company worldwide! Well, perhaps not so...

Thanks for this wonderful article pointing out that the problem is on the asset side, not the liability side. I posted, briefly some comments, then realized they were bound to be misinterpreted and just deleted. Thanks again for a great article. And no i don't think China is Enron. The FT...

Well I won't be here decades from now to point out how wrong you were. I don't necessarily trust China's numbers entirely, but neither do I distrust them entirely. And you shouldn't necessarily assume the things you do about the Chinese economy. We certainly have every reason to respect their...
