Peace___Frog posted...You'd think that somebody who was in the white house at that time would be less naive about the idea that Republicans would be cordial. I can see the logic. Republicans can be cowed - this was what Trump did to win control. He turned those debates into a ritual humiliation of the leading 16 Republicans. Make Republicans start to fear a socialist president and they might decide to work with someone like Biden. But hard to see how that level of cowing could happen in 2020. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |

The two party system is problematic but I'd rate it as less of a problem than the Senate and the Electoral College, though the latter is the reason why we have a two-party system but I just mean the nature of the EC distorting the electorate in much the same way as the Senate. Thank God for that. Long live the Senate of the Republic. For 8 states to have half the power would indeed be an existential crisis, but with our system, that can't happen no matter what their population is. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |

It's not unique to Trump but given the way he ran his businesses, it'd be very surprising if he didn't massively increase the national debt. A national debt of only 100% of GDP must look like a massively underleveraged opportunity to Trump. Trump likes his businesses saddled with so much debt that the interest payments alone amount to 100% or so of the income. Then if growing your way out of the debt and selling the business to a greater fool both don't work, it's time to declare bankruptcy and force your creditors to eat the loss. For an entity like the US government with a perfect 240+ year credit history, a low interest rate, and control of the currency in which the debt is issued (which is also the world's reserve currency), a national debt at 200% of GDP should be no problem. Japan manages that without the advantage of issuing the world's reserve currency. Now 200% of GDP is probably still way underleveraged in Trump's eyes, but our exit plan presumably isn't bankruptcy, so that's alright. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |

| red sox 777 05/13/19 2:52:00 AM #241 | And I think, at this stage it is probably hard for Bernie to defeat Trump in the general election too. He would have crushed it in 2016 but the economy is too strong now. He still has a chance if he can cast it as, our economy is doing great, shouldn't we be helping out our poorer countrymen? But he would have to jettison the neoliberal dogma prevalent in the Democratic Party and campaign on, essentially, Trump policies plus redistribution of wealth downwards. I doubt Bernie can make the Democratic Party come to its senses the way Trump made the Republican Party come to its senses. He doesn't believe the neoliberal dogma himself, but he's not going to attack and humiliate it the way Trump did to Jeb Bush and the Republican version the neoliberal dogma. And Bernie isn't an economist or a businessman, and he's campaigning in a party that puts a lot of trust in "experts." --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |

They will capitulate, eliminate our tariffs and bargaining leverage, and give other countries whatever they ask for, hoping to get something in return. Which we will not get. It will be like Lenin's unilateral declaration of peace with Germany - the Germans just ignored it and moved their armies forward and the USSR had to give up loads of territory when they came to their senses and realized that unilateral declarations of peace don't work. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |

A selection of relevant stats: Unemployment rate: 3.6% (lowest since 1969) Net jobs added in April: 263,000 Average monthly jobs added over last 12 months: 213,000 Hourly earnings increase over last 12 months: 3.2% There is really no way to spin this as a disaster in any way. If you want to argue that policy has a delayed impact on the economy and we are still in Obama's economy, that's a fair argument, but I seriously doubt many voters are going to go for that in 2020. By then, it will have been 4 years since Obama left office. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |

Unemployment at a 50 year low, wages are finally growing again in real terms, inflation is at a healthy 2%. Housing prices are taking a breather after several years of increases which is good for people's ability to afford rent/to buy a house. Less than 100% or so of the gains (inflation adjusted) are going to the top 1% for the first time in ages. Goldman can say things would be even better without the tariffs, but they aren't particularly credible. They were caught selling complex investments to clients that they bet against themselves, they have no reason to be more honest with the American people than their own clients. Remember, the market wanted Hillary to win - when early returns came in on election night the Dow futures fell like 700 points in an hour.

But was it profitable for the year? I don't know if the auto industry would be terribly seasonal but there are definitely industries (like gaming and Q4) where it's common to get most or all of your net profits for the year from one quarter, and lose money the rest of the year. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |

Well, Elon Musk is better I suppose - Tesla has run nonstop losses every year and Elon is getting paid 40,000 times the wages of the median Tesla employee. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! |
