Well breaking a couple promises is not so bad, at least he will be able to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. :D

That's cheating. Using logic gives you an unfair advantage.

Lefty LIberals are too busy raping children to be concerned about democracy. oops that's Donald Trump. Oh!, that makes sense. Trumps been a democrat until now.

we should raise taxes on the wealthy. That's self evident isn't it. Or would you rather the poor pay your bills when they buy bread. (Luckily you have me on ignore, so I won't have to endure a response. :D)

Laura Ingraham? Who is Laura Ingraham?

Uh Huh, right.

In that case let us build up the middle class by lowering their incomes to the point that none of them have to pay taxes!!! :D:D:D

It's only a realistic possibility, no where near a certainty. And let's not lose sight of the fact that there is a Congress and most power lies with the House. The House is not friendly place.

possibly you would find it instructional to look up the year in which tax rates were drastically lower and drastically compressed in the upper brackets, but raised in the lowest bracket where many more poor souls resided. That is an astounding way to help out the middle class! And it happened...

Drop the question mark, and you may have unwittingly and succinctly summarized human existence. You should let Hawking, Susskind, Wilson, Dawkins, and Prigogine know of this breakthrough. (I would add Darwin to the list of those to be notified, but sadly he has left us.) In the meantime I'll...

You got it almost right but it wasn't the Fed it was Congress and the administration that was responsible. You do Reagan a disservice, because it wasn't just his administration. The GWB administration fell nearly as much under the charm of supply-side economics Reagan's did. And it is only the...

This business of getting rid of the EPA , the IRA, etc. is prima facie ridiculous. The people proposing such nonsense seldom propose what they would do to replace the functions of these agencies, so one has to assume nothing. These are populist ideas promulgated by those who call themselves...

I would guess that Thomas Piketty would be quite chagrined to hear you say "there is no rational basis" for his arguments on why wealth is distributed as it is. I developed my thesis on my own after looking at the data, much thought, further reading, and discussing my thinking with an economist...

source of your "most of the 50 million" ad the 50 million number please?

But what if you are wrong Jem? And the current difficulties are less due to immigrant entries into the labor force and more due to the inability of labor and education to keep up with rapid technological change affecting commerce.

Yes, of course, Keynes himself recognized potential pitfalls. This is an especially cogent critique. https://mises.org/library/critical-flaw-keyness-system
