That would be nice.

The economy will take off like a rocket, GDP up to 3%. Wages will rise everyone will be happy, especially the wealthy! Deficits will soar, and the next President will have to deal with the inflation. Trumps slogan was borrowed from Reagan and very likely his economics will be also. four...

No. That's not why I don't consider myself a Democrat.

Goldwater.

I suggest you characterize your own position on issues, and allow others the same courtesy.

I am not a democrat. But I think you are tight. Bernie likely would have beaten Trump.

(underlining is mine.) I think it is best to keep our bearings. The election was one of the closest in U.S. history. A virtual tie in the popular vote. The news media is saying today that Clinton is likely to end up winning the popular vote. But it will be by very little margin. It is for...

Yes, that is of course the implication! Even though I have no respect for him personally I still admire his skill as a con artist. I mean he got himself elected to the presidency of the United States. That's pretty damn impressive considering he seems to know next to nothing. from...

It seems you are right. Poor democrat turnout produced the Clinton loss. My comments are in regard to the dynamics that produced the poor turnout, i.e., the successful vilification of Clinton, and the dynamics that were in play among Trump and Hillary voters that did turn out.

I could not have been more wrong about Trump. I thought that he could not win having alienated blacks, Hispanics and women. But I was wrong about the extent to which he had alienated women, which comprise ~50% of voters, and in the end many women voted for him. That may have been the deciding...

That, and too, how many are hurting after 30 years of declining, inflation adjusted wages. What Trump taught me was that telling people what they want to hear will be perceived as truth, regardless of facts. Trump is a master of at first perceiving what people want to hear, and than parroting...

This is not surprising. There seems to be one error in the daily mail story. The last of the two June filings contained a witnesses name and statement, which is a corroboration of sorts.. In that filing it was alleged that the witness was an employee of Epstein's at the time of the alleged...

There is no question that democracy is at risk in any country where the population is poorly educated, and therefore less questioning and more easily swayed by those who seek to control public opinion for self-serving purposes. And here, by "education," I mean education in the broad liberal...

You are not catching on. Stop and think a little more deeply, please. I am a capitalist, and I believe that a capitalist economic system works best for all. Your thinking, if shared by many others, is going to destroy capitalism!

There are what I term low information voters on both sides. I would say that on the Democrat side there exists a coalition of specific issue voters (many Hispanic and black voters may fall into this category) women, millennials and college educated voters. On the Republican side there are also...

From National Public Radio comes this interesting imaginary conversation between between Edward Conard, a Bain Capital Partner, and French Economist Thomas Piketty. __________________________________________________________________ Business On Income Inequality: A French Economist Vs. An...

Very interesting Nitro. Thanks for posting this interview with Richard Wolff.

I don't no where you get your information, but it is wrong.

There are far too few to benefit significantly from Republican, supply-side, economic policies to elect anyone that must run at large nationally. (The Gerrymandered House Districts are another matter.) Consequently, the Republicans in charge were understandably desperate to expand their voter...

If I remember right, young George Bush was president on 911. Correct me if I'm wrong, please. Are you now holding it against illegals for voting against your wishes? (Is that what "vote democrat at 8:1 means?') If you are, I think you should know that people here illegally can't vote! In...
