It's nothing more than redistribution of wealth. I would expect nothing more from Bernie Sanders. I hope they understand how dangerous this proposition is. There are a ton people in our country that are dependent on the steady growth of the stock market for their retirement. It doesn't just...

Fake news strikes again. ;) At least they had enough integrity to own up to it. UPDATE: May 26, 2019, 9:14 a.m. EDT This entire report is based on a 2017 story from The Washington Post that turned out to be not entirely accurate. As CNN confirmed in Jan. 2018, the words weren't banned, but...

https://www.gao.gov/assets/700/693162.pdf Here's a link to the GAO report that CIS cited for their article. You'll find the federal crime conviction statistics on page 86 of the report. You are right in one thing. These statistics don't just encompass illegal immigrants . From the report: The...

https://cis.org/sites/default/files/2018-01/USSC Data on Federal Convictions-1(10).pdf Here's a link to the data used for the article. It tracks federal convictions from 2011 through 2016. The article says it was compiled by the Government Accountability Office at the request of the Senate...

This is correct. The 42% statistic is skewed by immigration offenses. This link provides a better picture of the federal crime rates of non-citizens. Their statistics show that they commit 21.4% of federal crimes if you exclude immigration offenses. They're higher than normal in some areas, and...

Early childhood development plays a crucial roll in a person's education. Someone that comes from a broken home is far less likely to receive the attention they need to develop when they're young. They tend to struggle early in school and lag behind. This leads to lower test scores. You can...

If they ask you for a split of the profits, find new friends. If they ask you to trade with their money, tell them that you aren't licensed to do that legally. If they ask for your trade signals, give them a general idea of what you look for without giving any secrets away. You can help them out...

It looks like the number of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. was pretty consistent between the mid 60's and the year 2000. Outside of a few spikes in the 70's, we stayed pretty consistently between 17 & 18 million jobs. Then China joined the WTO in 2001, and we saw a drastic decline. It isn't a...

It will always hurt. I know that 9/11 and the war on terror caused an economic downturn in our country. But I'm looking at the big picture of the past 18 years. You asked why the trade deficit was a bad thing. Since China joined the WTO back in 2001, we've closed 60K factories and lost 5...

I remember how bad it was. But China's GDP grew steadily over the next few years. They went from 8.5% in 2000 to 14.2% in 2007. Our GDP fell from 4.1% to 1.9% over the same time frame. I don't think 9/11 is responsible for the mass exodus of manufacturing from U.S. shores, and the ballooning...

Look back at the year 2000. We were in our 4th straight year with a GDP above 4%. Our unemployment rate was the lowest it had been in over 30 years. We collected so much in tax revenue that we had a budget surplus. In 2001 China joined the WTO, and things started to shift. Since then we've...

https://www.inverse.com/article/52659-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-climate-change It’s a reasonable take if you’re aware of the 12-year mark outlined in the 2018 UN “Special Report on Global warming of 1.5ºC,” released in October. It mentions the year 2030 — 12 years from now — as the point of no...

Why didn't she call 911 or the police if she came across someone needing immediate medical attention? I think we all know the answer to that question.

I don't want to see anyone denied media access regardless of their political leanings. But I also don't have any problem with requiring reporters to apply for a day pass if they show up a handful of times per year. This is pretty common practice in other areas.

I assumed the "exceptions" were hard passes that would be handed out to reporters that didn't fit the criteria, and anyone else could still apply for access on a daily basis. You could be right though.

According to CNN, anyone that doesn't qualify for the hard pass can apply for access on a day to day basis. That may be an inconvenience, but there's no evidence that anyone will be denied access.

Our GDP last year was the highest its been in 13 years. China's GDP was the lowest its been in 28 years. Since the start of the trade war our stock indexes are close to flat. The Shanghai composite is down about 20%. There's no doubt that the trade war has hurt China more than it has hurt us...

I've never traded with Tradezero, but I bet what they mean is that you can't use any leverage or additional buying power on stocks that cheap. Most brokers have restrictions like this in place...
