Let's just see here: which sorts of governments sustain the most productive and happy populations? Is it the small coalition governments of the elites? Or is it the large coalition governments of the people? Talk the people down all you want, but they are fairly good at creating their own governments. Small coalition governments around the world and throughout history have been oppressive, short sighted, wasteful, and selfishly opportunistic at the expense of the electorate. History is clear: elites govern horribly, while the "stupid" people of the land govern much more wisely.
Get on the right side of history iwRoNg!

Benjamin Bowler?
No Logan, it is Chris Whalen, who showed the housing bubble was a premeditated scam.

Logan Mohtashami For President 2020!
The man on the left wouldn't be an economic adviser, even though I know some of you love him
The middle guy is Chris Whalen: http://www.businessinsider.com/chris-whalen-urges-the-us-to-default-2011-4
Isn't the guy next to him David Stockman?

He was at the last economic conference I spoke at. I am speaking at the CAR conference in Late Jan. I doubt he would be there but we are both going back to Texas next year for the Americatalyst

Everyone should go their own path. Each person has their own company's and a lot peopled are tied to their investment thesis Teaming up in the blogging world I don't think is ever a good idea.
Plus I think it's very important that many different people have their own set economic narratives that they want to discuss without anyone else being part of that equation.
2017 Should be a fun year in economics, I can't wait... and end this thread for good once I finish my 2017 Economic and Housing Prediction article

Oh a loner huh? :) Just kidding. So, what do you think about the theory that wage percentage of GDP being in decline continually will become a danger to the nation? Effective demand shows that this is happening.
Additionally, North Carolina's State Board of Elections also performed a recent audit that out of 10,000 voter citizenship cases they looked into, over 14% were likely non-citizens.
Sorry bud, the evidence is there

Our consumption is fine, but as always I adjust everything to demographics and older people don't spend like they did when they're were younger.
MG! The results of one state have to mean that all other states are similar, and a Pat.net user said it wasn't so. Your deductive reasoning skills are unmatched.
So, let's see here. You're quote theoretical studies on potential voter fraud and think it's better evidence than an ACTUAL examination of votes and voters in the state that YOU and other voter fraud activists said was among the WORST offenders.
One of the WORST states showed exactly 3 votes difference. How can you explain this???
Quote from the study "A significant number of voters who were not citizens cast illegal ballots in U.S. elections".
What part of that do you all not understand? The "may" part of it was whether it tipped the election toward Obama. The fact that illegals voted was undisputed by your precious left wing institution
can't have a debate with people who have already made up their mind and don't let facts or data or fucking common sense change that. Waste of my time...moving on.
You mean like actual recounts of actual votes and actual voters? The ones that never find any significant voter fraud?

The green line shows the business cycle ended in Dec 2014.
This was the big whiff of the cycle
We call this the theory of the PMI bears... recession callers of 2015 and 2016 that low gas prices was going to created the next recession.
Because the lack of context with real time economics, this old model wasn't going to work in this cycle because this was primarily a strong dollar play not in a recessionary trend.
PMI bears of 2015 and 2016 will go down in history as one of the worst economic calls we might have seen in the last 100 years of economics.
This is why people need to verse themselves in more modern day economic trends
In the past when manufacturing was in a recession and yes it has been in a recession the U.S. was in one but that was more due to domestic demand curve economics not a strong dollar taking oil out play
We need to educate people more this and hence why I wanted to explain that in my recent Trump Manufacturing Article on how world trade PMI works

Threat levels if you're a Democrat
Obama just passed the worst legislation in the history of the planet, written by the evil Heritage Foundation: yay this is so good i have no clue why, I can't explain my reasons, but it has Obamas name on it! Just has to be good!!!
Wikileaks exposes that the DNC rigs the primary to defeat an extremely popular leftist, running on the best platform in the history of this country: OH MUH GAWD CAN WE DRONE STRIKE ASSANGE?!
No, he didn't
Yes, he did

You mean the Democratic party picked the candidate? You know in the old days primaries didn't even exist right?
Yup. How is that supposed to be a response to what I said?

For some reason I'm less concerned about Russians than I am with Washington Liberals.
You fuckers are the ones that pushed the Russian Reset, remember?
It has been reset give it a rest assholes. Russians are great until they fuck up as bad as Obama.
Putin didn't sell me health insurance that I can't afford, not does he tax me if don't buy it.
I think Putin loves more than Obama.
What do you think of THAT!?
How did Russia manipulate the election?
It must be true even though no one has read a copy of any proof.
america's pandemic: Stupidity.
Anyone! Please post any link from the NSA,CIA,FBI to any facts about Russia.
How many lies,over many administrations, has the govt. told the american people?
Bigger question: How many voters believe crap,without evidence?
I only believe campaign promises!
What do you think of THAT!?
I think you are not thinking & making a futile attempt at trolling.

I for one would much rather see nuclear war with Russia in Syria and other places than to trade in oil and other commodities.
There was no opinion added to the leaked information. It just was what it was, and it made the establishment look terrible. I love that. If it had been naked pics or someone's unrelated personal life details, I would be vehemently against it regardless of whether it's someone I disagree with politically. The info leaked needed to be for the good of the country and world to see how corrupt our system really is. It's that simple...no need to overcomplicate it.

Who in the fuck is going to pay taxes in US
My bad I forgot to give you the data on who pays the taxes in the U.S.

In the aftermath of what has been a wild couple of weeks of trading, today a former associate of George Soros told King World News that “A thousand Lehmans” event is going to plunge the world into total chaos.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/half-of-americans-are-shut-off-from-economic-growth/
Even after accounting for the occasional recession and slowdown, America’s economy has greatly expanded since the days of disco. Despite that growth, however, half of Americans have failed to share in the country’s economic gains since the 1970s, with roughly 117 million American adults living on income that’s stagnated at about $16,200 per year before taxes and transfer payments, according to new research from economists Thomas Piketty, Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman.

If low gas prices correlate to a strong dollar we are screwed in manufacturing. I would say that recession call is still on. Now, The Fed can delay recessions. One more question, Logan. I believe it is possible that higher rates will lead to more bank lending, eventually. But getting from here to there is a problem. You must be a strong NeoFisherian. Not saying it won't work, but:
More job creation rests on people unemployed in the shadow stats becoming ready for the work force. There is a lid on growth if that doesn't happen and if labor does not get a bigger share. Sure the Fed can rope a dope. But not forever. Only with helicopter money can they really stop a serious recession so close to the zero bound, IMO.

Here is a problem, apparently Trump thinks about writing off the debt too. That will plunge the world into depression. And the problem is, we won't come out of it like those son of a bitch libertarians think we will.

Is it trolling to ask you to speculate on what possible form of hacking could the russians use to manipulate the election?
Exactly what the kind of person to warm up US-Russian relations,hopefully an alliance one day. The more we disempower OPEC, the better things are. In the long term we'll be needing Russia to contain China, so let's get started today.
And India as well

Trump Allies Brush of CIA Report of Russia Hand In Election
Tensions erupt between Trump and the CIA over Russia's hacking during the 2016 campaign
Trump team challenges intel on Russian election influence
"Donald Trump's presidential transition team on Saturday challenged the veracity of U.S. intelligence assessments that Russia was trying to tip the November election to the Republican."
Read that. That says a political transition team challenges US intelligence on what Russia was doing. Incredible. That's some really dumb politics in action right there.
This incoming administration will prove that it cares only about dollars and the appearance of winning. This will be the junk food image of what America is supposed to be. Sad.
