looks like energy prices might stabilize but still stay in the 40-50 range...that's good for stable growth.
I dunno now...it's puttered along at 1% growth so long there might still be some leg left in this one.

Racism
Sexism
Age discrimination
Fat shaming
All in the same category reguarding individual rights?
Who are normal people?
The kind that went to the polls and voted after they got off work.
I'm just going off of history not any current economic conditions. Since 1910 the economy has either been in recession or gone into recession within 12 months at the end of a 2 term presidency.
Of course, '09 and the govt/fed actions since are unprecedented so the streak could break.
The ones who aren't freaking out
True, and if Trump really does a trillion dollar infrastructure deal it could extend it for awhile. Governments problem is gonna be financing it with long term debt. Trumps basically saying what i've been saying...if you can borrow money now at historically low rates it's time to do it now if you are ever going to do it. That's why I'm buying houses.
If the likes of boutons becomes considered a mainstream Democrat we'll see the birth of a new regional party. Judging from my FB feed most of lefty friends have gone full boutons.
"if Trump really does a trillion dollar infrastructure deal"
Don the Con wants to sell infrastructure to capitalists, who won't buy unless they have a good, ETERNAL return (see the 36,000 Chicago parking meters sold to p/e). 99% will end up with ty infrastructure with exorbitant usage fees.
Repugs won't spend a penny on infrastructure, will continue with their years-long austerity, cutting taxes on BigCorp/1% and "pay for" by cutting the safety net, welfare, Medicaid, Medicare, etc.
That's really the key for the GOP. If Trump follows the standard GOP formula of slash spending for Americans but spend like crazy on military adventures their reign won't last long.
True, The ones in mine are in full blown despair/denial mode.
They should be in despair with Ryan gunning after Medicare.
Ryan will probably try to delay ing Medicare until after the mid-terms. If he does now, as quickly as possible, the Dems OWN the mid-terms, and maybe the House.
No way, Ryan is going to try to do it in 2017 while his party controls Washington. Between mostly Democrats running to keep their senate seats and gerrymandering continuing to deliver the house to the GOP he doesn't have a lot to worry about with the 2018 midterms.
Win 2018 and you can gerrymander the next 10 years.
None have anything to do with individual rights. We all have a right to discriminate. We just don't have a right to do it publicly. It's like religion, no one can remove it since it's internal. You can stop publicly led prayer, but you cannot stop people from praying internally without killing or disabling them. There are laws against discrimination for specific things like employment and voting and such, but there are no laws against internal discrimination. That's where it happens. That's where the majority of angst comes from. Overt displays of discrimination are noteworthy, but the every day, lingering racism, sexism, age discrimination and even things like hair color and eye color.. all things we find attractive or unattractive.
Sure but there are thoughts of internal discrimination that have a clear biological basis. Young children are not developed enough mentally to have the ability to understand or even read what we are typing. Internal discrimination based on obvious misconceptions are very danergouus. Blacks are stupid. Dark skin = stupid, lazy etc... It's in the genes. People believe this. "Smart" people who don't understand biology believe this. Even Nobel prize candidates in physics. There is no biological basis. It ain't there.
Concerned? I hope so. Any reasonable person must come to a view of understanding we are in a new era of what legitimate ideas and plans actually are should be concerned as we don't really have a good read. If I need to go through examples to illustrate this then I should just stop typing.
Freaking out? The US as a country has too many strong ins utions to dive into a hole or leave the country. That is part of our strength.
So retired folks...
College kids...
it's clear people are put off by the social disapprobation of racism.
which is the bigger grievance, the allegation of racism or the grievance against the same?
Disingenious people on all sides have used allegations and grievances for their own devices. It's a very selfish thing to do when legitimate cases are tried in public.
How about those who vote BEFORE work since they don't know if they have to stay late at work (something always comes up at 5pm).
I don't know.
It was not my definition, it was CCs.
Ask him.
