Do you intentionally post this stuff knowing how silly it makes you seem? The economy hasn't changed one one thousandth of one basis point since last Thursday. We are still on about a 3+ GDP growth rate. The market does what the market does. Attempting to use it's short term movements as political ammunition is the sign of a goof.

That was Robert J. Kelly, in 1983. One of the very few whose career survived such a thing.

Paul Ryan is smarter than anyone in the Dems lineup.

Fair enough, but an "information war" is not going to be advanced here. If it's you're way of spending time while procrastinating, per your claim, no worries. I just wonder why anyone who is seriously persuing something they think is important, would spend so much time on a website that has nothing to do with the issue. No problem from me, unless you go after someone I know is faultless, as you did with Adm Pat Walsh. Good luck, regardless.

As an agnostic to what your views are, unless they besmirch someone without fact, just a question. Why are you spending time posting all of this instead of spending your time finishing your book?

This is nonsense. Illegals are here in the active commission of a crime that they had full knowledge of. In no other ongoing crime is there an excuse by the perpetrator that the victim allowed them to become "part of the fabric." Not being prosecuted for a crime is not an implied allowance that it was ever acceptable. Judges like this frighten me, but Jefferson expressed concern about this overstepping a couple centuries ago. The first time one of these "protected goodbyes" goes awry, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Ya I think so, and I'm not seeking your permission to post in any thread. I think Boeing is a fantastic company with fantastic products that has withstood grossly unfair competition for years, and excelled, and been almost alone in keeping our balance of trade numbers from being a total disaster.

Davos has nothing to do with Trump. Nothing. CEO after CEO stated how it was the most positive economic environment they could remember. Politics will always follow economic performance, and economic performance is great, worldwide. Absolutely ebullient comments, day after day. Noting to do with politics, and politics should stay out of the way.

These kind of posts give me cause to think some people will just never get it. No Trump supporter, but just silly to deny reality. Things, worldwide, are going really well. Pay any attention to Davos?

A huge win A huge win for Virginia.

Fool's errand to directly link economics with politics. There is no capital shortage. There is no labor shortage. There is no exigent condition, like energy, that threatens growth. Labor pressures will be handled, largely, by productivity increases. The world is in a growth vector, from the emerging economies up to and through the G7. Enjoy it. It will slow down.

What's the old aphorism? "Economists exist to make astrology look good." Or... "Economists predicted 25 or the last 5 recessions."

If you're concerned about inflation, make money off it. You can buy TBT, which essentially shorts the US 20 year+ Treasuries. Easy money if you're right.

I really wonder where you get this crap. "The worst situation in economic history?" I'm guessing you pay no attention to people who actually run businesses in the US. CNBC has them on everyday. They have a completely different view than you express, but what do they know, since they're actual fiduciaries running businesses? I have no idea how old you are, but you are destined for failure unless you figure things out.

Be careful with your terms here. Of course the economy never grew at 3% in a quarter during Obama. That would be a 12% annualized growth rate. Further, posting annualized growth rates per quarter is based on multiplying the quarterly growth rate by four, another inaccurate way to consider growth, since quarterly growth rates vary for a considerable number of reasons.

And selling into that market can set you up for a long time. The "Bay Area" is a really complex market. Peninsula, Marin, north over the Bay bridge, or further north over the Golden Gate towards Petaluma and Santa Rosa. Very different weather over small geographical distances, and very different commute. The City is a completely different environment, and not something I would buy in to. The East Bay gets progressively cheaper as you get into Central Valley weather and commute difficulty. If I was forced to live there, at least in the East Bay, I would purchase a bit west of my employment, so I was driving east in the morning and west on the way home. Nothing turns me off more than wasting my life in traffic. We chose Benicia for our first home, and enjoyed it, but I was only driving into work once per week.

Little known fact. Neil Diamond and Barbara Streisand were in the same choral group in Brooklyn in high school.

Ronald McNair, Mission Specialist was on Challenger. It is preposterous to claim racism here. NASA, with a really limited budget spends a fortune on training. Absolutely no way they did this without cause.

Twenty six years and one day ago, a new strategy of warfare was introduced, and we are never going back.

Dead wrong. There is nothing in Carter's economic performance that indicated any wisdom on economics. No economic skill. No military skill. No political skill. Cost us money. Cost us lives. Cost us prestige.

Not to quibble, but Paul Volcker at the independant Fed is far more responsible than Reagan. While it happened on Reagan's watch, the Volcker recession, brought about by keeping rates that the Fed could control high, is what changed the course. Reagan constantly fought for spending cuts, and didn't get them, resulting in his repeated calls for the line item veto. To get his military budgets approved, he signed off on increased spending. He had the right idea, but Volcker was the single cause of the end of Jimmy Carter's "misery index."

After a good long time in this country, this economy, this political system and this media system, I have come to one undeniable conclusion. The Democratic party will never be exposed for its bad ideas, bad history, bad plans and bad performance. They will continue to exist and thrive because they play to very basic human views. Someone is screwing you. Your problems are not of your own doing, and I can help you by legally stealing from the bad people who are succeeding. It's not you....It's them. And to inoculate myself, I am no Trump supporter. That was Ford.

Because they're smarter. Destroy San Francisco, because you're smart.

Really good weather. Really good geography. Unbelievably stupid government being run by unbelievably stupid people. The bottom claim trumps the top two. An idiotic situation, the evidence of which is the amount of human urine and excrement on the streets of San Francisco, the town that I dated and married my wife.
