2020 Primaries

Not enough for him to overcome a booming economy and low unemployment.

Unemployment is low, but I wouldn't call 2% growth (with a trillion dollar deficit) "booming."

What the Bernie Bro.s don't realize is that the only thing less accountable than corporations is the government; the purest monopoly of all.

That integrity remark you made hit me as I saw the last part of The Big Short movie about an hour ago. Our academic institutions, government, banks, corporations, credit agencies, and even religious institutions seem so rotten.

I remember reading something back in the 1980's when the Japanese were buying America and it was said that they admired our institutions and thought they were America's greatest attribute.

For 8 years we were told 2% is booming - the new normal.

Along with the Federal Reserve pumping $40 billion a month into the economy.

Not for Matthews it wasn’t. You can disagree with him, and think Bernie is offering a different kind of socialism then what Chris is referring to, but Matthews clearly thinks it’s a failed system. Just read his quotes.

Don't you? Full blown Venezuelan socialism I'm talking.

Cash for clunkers?

Interesting you mention academic institutions - I was reading an article today in the WSJ about the DOJ going after universities for the billions of dollars they take from arguably hostile nations and how they obfuscate the sources and means yet none seems to impact tuition.

QE 1, 2 and 3 anyone?

 

[volinbham]

Cash for clunkers?

Summer of Recovery!

 

[GAVol]

QE 1, 2 and 3 anyone?

It's like people think everyone suffers from envy and chronic memory loss.

Now put it in context , unemployment at a 50 year low and a Solid economy with record stock market highs vs what will happen the first quarter after Bernie takes office . There’s nothing Bernie offers that will stimulate growth and economic spending , job creation vs losses from private companies , consumer confidence will tank , deregulation’s will be out and more regulation in . Nothing he proposes will do anything but cause inflation and more debt.

 

[GAVol]

Summer of Recovery!

It was trumpeted like economic Shark Week.

 

[carlos86]

QE 1, 2 and 3 anyone?

Yea and at some point they had to stop. Why start back now???

 

[Velo Vol]

For 8 years we were told 2% is booming - the new normal.

Now it's the "greatest economy ever."

Right I just read it on here a couple of places. Billions from SA and China. No telling what type of influence peddling and theft of R&D has taken place.
And somewhat less insidious are the college admission scams.

 

[volinbham]

Yea and at some point they had to stop. Why start back now???

It's to manage short term rates; not to gig the economy. It started in Sept and is about to end.

 

[volinbham]

Now it's the "greatest economy ever."

It was the greatest recovery then

 

[0nelilreb]

Now it's the "greatest economy ever."

Which one would you prefer we call it ?

 

[Orangeburst]

It's like people think everyone suffers from envy and chronic memory loss.

I just read up on CFC in the Wash Post. It created 2K jobs for $3B, $1.4 million/job.
