Don't be silly!!! Have you looked at inflation between 1965 and 2016 lately? Or between 1940 and now. Either will do. You have a bad attitude, and the all seeing, all knowing God, has made note of it. You're not getting into heaven unless you change your ways.

Of course! But you left out 'when.' (Oh, you did say when!!! Fool!) Never say say when, if you don't want to be called a "fool".

We all have it, but it is extremely difficult for some of us to think independently because of our eusocial nature. Broad education and/or long life experience helps tremendously in acquiring this ability. We call it "good judgement," and it is developed to widely differing extents in individuals.

fair enough. But please understand, I am not asserting that most people are innately stupid. Instead I would suggest that all of us can be swayed by peer pressure and crowd mentality to make stupid choices and decisions from time to time. That is to say, decisions that are neither logical or...

Yes, and serving from the right and removing from the left. It would be unbearable.

I stand by my statement, until convinced otherwise of course, but i'm not at all sure that it means "most people are stupid." What else might it mean?

Were you accidentally helping to reinforce my point that being stupid is mainstream, or was it intentional?

No, no, and no! In prior time, when there were not so many diversions for our attention, people actually read for their amusement. Can you even imagine such a thing? Can you even imagine Donald Trump doing such a thing? Many of the Founders were, in fact, readers and students of the Greek and...

Actually, and I'm not certain about this, but I think the record shows that the economy has done better under democrats than republicans. But what measure do you use? There are even books about this. But I wonder if it doesn't have to do with the particular time period you choose, a fortuitous...

At the Breakfast Club.

They won't be given money, they will borrow what they need if they are short and pay it back via increased insurance premiums that banks pay to the FDIC. I guess you are aware that the Tarp account is on track to return a net profit to the Treasury and thus to the taxpayer...

The FDIC can only technically run out of money, they can't actually run out of money. You are aware of that?

Thanks, I'd never heard of that. I looked it up.

Thank you for that! I'll try to remember it, when I need something to laugh about.

Well at least you've learned that you can go to the Fed to get correct information. I doubt you've read the article however. You can get by, if you just want to understand "bail in" by starting with subtitle 3 and read on from their. You'll find in the article the arguments in favor of...

They only real danger I see in going one direction or the other for four to eight years, is the Court. That's a very hard thing to reconstitute if eight years down the road the electorate has had it and wants to make a major sea change. I think it is a risk worth taking, nevertheless, because...

You're absolutely right. He easily could have held his constituents without continually shooting himself in the foot with those pointless, idiotic, and very rude remarks. He has run a very stupid campaign.

I'm sticking with my assessment that neither Cruz nor Trump are electable despite popularity among parts of the Republican electorate. This is not me speaking, this is the polls speaking. Both candidates are divisive. Both Candidates tend to repel large segments of the Republican, Democrat...

Cruz is less electable than Trump, and Trump is not electable. Trump is irrelevant, but Cruz is not. Un-electable Kasich remains in the wings as the least bad candidate. The Republicans have a problem. A problem of their own creation.

In that case, it's over. Go out in your garden and eat worms.
