I am reminded of what John Kenneth Galbraith said when asked by a reporter on an airport tarmack many years ago, "Professor Galbraith, are we going to have another Market crash?" His answer, "I'm certain we will." Just as Galbraith proved to have been correct, I am certain you will also be...

Good. That's going in the right direction. The only thing that will save us from the disastrous U.S. Healthcare Fiasco are costs that even wealthy Republican Senators can't afford. If we can get those costs up to the point that Mitch and Elaine McConnell can no longer afford healthcare in the...

The only way such a quote can make sense is in a specific context. In other words the quote can be nonsense when taken out of context. I can lead a horse to water, but I can not make it drink.

Aanyone wants to make a real contribution to fixing things that re not working well for the American people, they must first get the cause and effects correct. It's a difficult task. For example, the "nanny state" is an effect masquerading as a cause.

Well, if there are any politicians saying we can "spend, spend, spend...." they are wrong. I don't know of any politician that believes that. Certainly I don't believe that, nor is their any MMT economist that believes that. So, here is one rather obvious problem, obvious to me at least. MMT...

I'll look for some rose tinted ones.

It is at least possible that a majority are reasonably honest and professional most of the time. In reality infiltration of police forces by white supremacists appears to be a problem, and it may be a much worse problem than the public realizes. . See...

No. I'm a lousy reader. The "Except" in the context of my surly remark threw me off.

You'll never make it on Madison Avenue. I bought a pellet gun last week. Said right on the box "American Made". Fine print said, of German and Italian components. In fact, the metal parts were all made in Germany, the stock was made in Italy. (That's 100% of it.) Deadly accurate. Kills...

According to Handle123, Walmart commercials said 98% of Sam's stores had American made goods; Not 98% of the goods in his stores were American made!!! Quite a difference!!!

Today 100% of the Walmart's have American made goods!, right along side those from China Vietnam, Bangladesh, India, and Mexico.

You are mistaken, The ACA is not an example of socialized medicine. THe VA is an example of socialized medicine, and a not particularly good example from what I hear! We have many examples of far more socialized medical care systems than the ACA. The U.S. healthcare system is by far the worst...

That leadership role was lost under Trump, it has to be earned. The Biden administration is moving in the right direction to regain the former status of the U.S. What is easily lost is not, in this case, easily won back.

No observer can deny that inflation "is spreading to all sectors of the economy". It's mistaken however to think that we should not enact the Biden initiatives because of the inflation we see now. It's true that inflation will not be stemmed by enacting Biden's agenda, it will be stemmed when...

That's of course an expression of where your mind is, though it has little if anything to do with what I believe. Last night I saw on TV a woman who contrasted what we say, "I'll believe it when I see it," with what we do, "I'll see it, when I believe it." In other words, we make up our...

For governments like the U.S. government, what it buys, how it's paid for, and the ultimate consequences of the spending are far more important than the nominal amounts spent. In this regard, there are striking differences between Trump Administration expenditures and those proposed by the...

It is one party, not both. Both parties have leadership. But one party is lead by a severe demagogic narcissist. The result is a paralyzed party transformed into a garbage scow of lies floating on a stream of corruption. The other party is overloaded with young, diverse, energetic, and...

Your response is too illogical to warrant much of a rejoinder from me. I can tell you that as far as i'm concerned you are living in a world created for you by the charismatic Donald Trump, the most evil man to be encountered in American Politics in my lifetime. You do not have the intellectual...

You're arguing in favor of mandates now, whether you realize it or not, and against the insanity of politicizing the science behind the fight against the pandemic. So why your support for the man single handedly responsible for politicizing the U.S. response to the virus? -- calling it a...

That's the issue with you; not here. The probability of a virus mutating is proportional to its prevalence. Lowering the rate of transmission decreases the number of mutations that appear in a given period of time. This holds for all viruses, without exception.
