This took some hunting, but apparently the story I heard in the past few days on NPR is related to the Stanley Feldman (SUNY) study. They were it seems actually talking to the person who had done the study of Trump voters. If you search the NPR sight itself you may be able to replay it. I...

NPR highlighted a study done of voters by psychologists. They asked them to answer a series of questions related to various approaches to child rearing. There was a very high correlation between Trump supporters and advocacy of an authoritarian approach to child rearing.

Well if there was a spike in temperature, I would expect a spike in CO2 to confirm that the temperature actually went up and wasn't just a result of data "adjustment". So the question is, "what's causing this rise in temperature?", if anything other than the El Nino. It looks to me that we are...

Where do you come up with this stuff. The Fed never would "Guarantee" a future rate-hike time table. One of the problems they face right now is that everyone else is lowering rates and weakening their currency relative to the dollar. The Fed does not want to exacerbate that situation. Any...

Well we aren't much of a democracy at the national level. Of the three branches of our republic's government, only one-half of one branch is elected democratically-- the Senate! The house was the half that the Founders envisioned being elected democratically, but of course, with gerrymandering...

I guess so. And there are people here who will never let me forget it. But of course low rates help everyone who wants to borrow longer term, because the probability that their real rate will drop over time is favorable. I took advantage near the bottom, I hope you did to.

It would be easy to jump to the conclusion that the outcome of last nights primary somewhat increases the possibility of there being a President Trump in our future. However it would be wise to wait until the conventions now before placing bets because a three-way, and even a four-way, Fall...

Tonight, tonight, won't be just any night. Tonight there will be a morning star.

Actually this looks like not yet proven but promising! We are looking at three years here. Is, by any chance, that 2014 'Oops!' after the big increase in sale tax was announced? You'll recall that had to be quickly rescinded. I haven't bothered to look it up, but I am seeing 4 quarters here...

A don't know if it is right of course, but I rather like your analysis.

I would agree, though I would say the Democratic party is not tearing itself asunder the way the Republicans appear to be doing, but has politely shifted left. For avid observers of politics this could be a very interesting year.

Thanks. Appreciate your taking time to read it. It is rather long.

I don't recall claiming that, but it makes a certain amount of sense now that you mention it.
