If you lower Millennials on that graph by 20%, (putting the spike near 3.8) then not much is going to change.

Even the biggest American bear Harry Dent gives up his bearish theories in the next decade

Curse of the last bear.

Heraclitusstudent says

Curse of the last bear.

Funny part is that he is starting to run out of time with his own data lines. Dent believes in a mass over investment thesis, this is why he claims that home prices have to fall 42%-67% in some areas because he is using the Japan thesis here. So in theory we should have collapsed by now but I find his work to be drama queen material. Prime age labor force growth did peak in 2007 and yes we are in a rough demographic patch from 2008-2019.. all demographic people believe in this but his flaw was the grand over investment thesis.

What's that got to do with lazy teenagers and Millennials NOT working for their spending cash??

The best return for teenagers is to study harder and longer.

Ironman says

Because the lazy ass teenagers and Special Snowflake Millennials (like YOU) won't do it.

No. because they need to to feed their families.

The real test for the Democrats is the upcoming battle about Part D Drug Negotiation.

Wayyyy too many democrats are in the pockets of Big Pharma that wants to get paid full retail for drugs that are purchased by the billions of pills annually.

Will the Dems side with Paul Ryan against Trump?

During the lead up to the French Revolution, the 3rd Estate (peasants) were made to pay taxes on land while there was multiple exemptions for land tax for the wealthy.

Waiting for a discussion of how current Proposition 13 reinforces or is different from the land taxes in France pre-1700s.......

Why does everyone want to fan the flames of division left over from the last 8 years.

Alinskys 13th commandment making them do it?

We should not hate the politicians. We need to not polarize, not hate as Alinsky has suggested in his 13th commandment. We need to set aside politics of division and polarization. It worked - a little too well.

We need to be principled as a founding father - set aside politics - the election is over.

Remember, Lincoln realized that Slavery was wrong, had a heck of a hard time getting every to agree, had a revolution over the matter. He was Republican - and he was right, just very unpopular....

Yes, it is a very different world today than it was late 18th Century France, but plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose, right? The common man's tolerance of unfairness vs his fear of those in power has changed little. If anything the balance is more tenuous today. Most of the "poor peasants" this time around can not only read and write, but also took a shower this morning, have mobile access to front page news and instant social access software, and would perform well against many of the rich and lazy on intelligence tests.

The government is still favoring the Have's over the Have-nots because they know the latter would spend the windfall on real commodities rather than any investment that can be artificially inflated.

The American Screwed-Over (SO) can and will yell just as loudly as anyone in Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy or Ireland. The Chinese SO are finally learning how. Were you convinced the Chinese man's fear of their government was boundless? You were wrong. The number of labor strikes in China escalated by 100 percent from 2012 to 2014, and by another hundred percent by mid year 2016.

-The US cannot outsource our way to prosperity.
-Walmart being the #1 employer in 19 states is similar to a French "3rd Estate" condition.
-The US cannot graduate record number of lawyers, humanties, while Indian and Asian counterparts take up the most positions in Undergraduate/Overgraduate Sciences/Medicine.
-The US needs to get back to the progressivism that got the US into technology and manufacturing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Era
-Bringing back jobs to the US is only sustainable way to stabilize the middle class, and create opportunities for the entry level classes.
-Liberal Elistism in our inner cities, the malivestment and concentration of taxable resources is being wasted on cities vs. spent on infrastructure. Malivestment cuts across political and class boundaries.

This is so much like 1700 France, which at least had been been through the enlightenment, buoyed by Napolean to correct the other factors that layed liberty aside until the people did rise up. The US would not be free republic today if not for Jeffersons working with the Montesquie. Also the statue of Liberty was the greatest gift - dont think we could of realized it at the time! Liberty, Egalitarianism, and Fraternity, dont leave home without it.

Based on his cabinet picks, the monied interests are very well represented. Corporate America is dancing in the streets.

Based ont he corporate donations to the election cycle-hedge funds and wall streets donating close to 100% -we know which party candidate they supported.
Based on the action he has taken so far, we know who is supporting. Dems could lose a generation by their foolishness.

They supported the party that they thought was going to win. As they always do.

Not sure what you mean by the action he has taken so far? You mean handing over Treasury to Goldman Sachs? Handing over State Dept. to Exxon? Appointing a warmonger AG that supports the police state taking innocent citizen's assets with no cause? Hiring a corrupt Congressman who is not only bought and paid for by the Health Care Industry, and not only traded on inside information, but actually made policy decisions to help the companies he invested in so he could further line his pockets. Not to mention his tax policy--which is a giant middle finger to his voters.

Dems could gain a generation by Trump's foolishness. They just need to get out of his way and let him eff up.

joeyjojojunior says

Nah-they always hedge. As for the rest-blah, blah, blah. These are people immensely successful who do not need to do favors to maintain the jetsetting lifestyle. Liek trump who has created so many jobs already-maybe they made their money and now want to do some good for America.

Unlike the dems-where politics and lobbying are the means to their lifestyle.

President Obama’s 1,385 commutation grants – which includes 504 life sentences – is also more than the total number of commutations issued by the past 12 presidents combined. (Kinda like adding MORE debt than all the other President's combined, too).

And with today’s 64 pardons, the President has now granted a total of 212 pardons.

Most of them are probably his "sons" It's a family thing.

Update: 60 Democratic lawmakers now say they are skipping Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony on Jan. 20, a number that grew Saturday after the president-elect dismissed a congressman who is a civil rights icon as "all talk."

Trump does not care. He is hoping they never show up in Congress too.
By the way, what percent of the democrat lawmakers does the "60" represent?

It's sort of like asking for an abortion before you are even pregnant.
