But there can be no question that Trumps is clinical.

I'm speculating that the Trump Flynn, Trump's Manafort connections are just the tip of the iceberg. Trumps real crimes will be evident only in laundered cash that changed hands and does not show up on Trumps returns.

At this point, all we can do is speculate; which is actually a lot of fun because we will know eventually how well we did. Some of us are going to prove much better at speculating than others. All we really have to go on is Trump the Narcissist; charismatic TV program host; beauty pageant...

I could hardly agree less with any of this. While it is absolutely true that some fraction of the Republican voter base has been 'talking about the stealth tax caused by inflation in conservative circles for decades,' it's an unfortunate fact that this misinformed, Republican voter base is as...

Yah.

Isn't that obvious. It is the Republicans who want to use tax money to indirectly subsidize business; not the liberals who believe in transparency and an honest days pay for an honest days work. It makes sense if you have capital, Then you may prefer not to pay taxes directly but pay...

Daniel Ellsberg recounts, on page 338 of the Book "Secrets" a conversation he had on a plane with Maryland Senator Charles Mathias in the dark days of the Nixon White House during the Vietnam War-- A time when Nixon was feeling more and more isolated. "Mathias had known Nixon for a long time...

Of course, Clinton lied when he said I did not have sex with that woman. In the end it was lying about personal matters under oath that got him impeached. But the public said, wait a g.d. minute here, those are questions you shouldn't have been asking in the first place! It is none of your...

I gave examples of serial liars, but I'm having second thoughts about including Berlesconi. He may not have lied quite enough to warrant inclusion. Just telling a lie once in a while shouldn't get you on the list. Nixon, of course, once he decided to become the leader of the Watergate coverup...

Can't be done, and won't be. No nuclear weapons will be used against North Korea. It's all bluster. Ignore it.

fair enough, but to go forward, first a court must be convinced there is enough credible evidence of not merely poor judgement, or mistakes, but actually wrong doing, and no matter what the rules say, it's the law that matters. Furthermore, many statutes leave room for interpretation. Even...

Trump goes out with a BOOM! Well, who can argue with that?!!! He'll be "D'Man" alright. He's already secured his place in history along side Silvio Berlesconi, Lance Armstrong, Pt Barnum Charles Ponzi, Richard Nixon and Bernard Madoff.

This is one you'll like. I say run with it!

It is amazing to me how many people are wiling to buy into these stories without a second thought.

This has nothing to do with progressiveness in the tax code. It's caused by 47% of the population not making enough money to pay income taxes!

can you support this? At some point, was it in tax year 1987?, Reagan's administration, with help from the Congress did raise the rate of the lowest bracket... But doubling the rates in 1982 for anyone making less than 70K ??? There was an 1981 (or '82) bill, and a 1986 Bill, and maybe some...

Then what have you learned? It's rhetorical, don't answer. I know what you learned, nothing. Because in your opinion "All the arguments for mmt are bogus." (whatever that means?) The first essential requirement for learning is to want to learn. The next is to question. It seems you have...

I would like to hear arguments for and against legalization, but from more neutral sources. Booker's initiative seems premature. Colorado is providing a test case. Colorado chose to be a guinea pig. And we have California and Canada as well to study. Let's give these experiments a little more...

I can highly recommend to you the Randall Wray lecture that someone linked to above. Wray was a student of Minsky. Minsky understood money. It appears you may not.

Agreed.
