Things are much different this time around. We have now spent the second half of my lifetime in wars and rather than being good for the economy it is one of the largest things destroying it.

There also has never been a Central Bank system like we have today that makes losers out of all of us. And in 2009, under the Obama Administration and a new FED chief, quantitative easing was like giving the FED a booster shot of trenbolone.

Did you watch the video Second? It is pretty fascinating. It's also a non-partisan look at what our monetary system has become. I have no doubt that quantitative easing would have happened whether it was Obama or McCain in office. Doesn't matter.

If the Republicans could have their way, "easing" would not have been done because, well, you’d have to read two articles about how "easing" works and how a certain kind of economist's mind, always a Republican mind, works:

ative-easing-wonkish/
https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/02/26/quantitative-easing-and-m
onetary-aggregates/?_r=0

You know, a successful prediction is supposed to change peoples’ minds: if you’re wrong about how an experiment turned out, and someone else made a prediction you considered foolish but turned out completely right, you’re supposed to concede that just maybe, possibly, they were on to something.

The fact that essentially nobody on the Republican side of the debate has budged in the slightest tells us that whatever it is they’ve been doing, it’s not scientific research.

I'll quote Michael, who posted on the 2nd article back in February of 2015.

Regardless of how it happened, the Truth about the Dems and who they are has come out. And it didn't stop on election night either.

Funny thing is, by denying the Left, who ever compromised them, made the US a tougher player at the bargaining table w/ Trump than they would have had w/ Hillary. So, I have to really wonder...

If not the Russians, and not Soros, who's the puppet master behind all this ?

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

Putin wants to show his citizenry that democracy is no better than what they have. It's what keeps most Russians from taking to the streets to protest for something better.

Well, as this shit plays out with Trump the checks and balances of our democracy, are showing the Russian people our system and our rule of law is much better than what Putin offers. What he offers is no better than what is offered in the Middle East; bad and corrupt government.

Russia's interference in the U.S. election was but the latest and most audacious episode in Moscow's ongoing effort to destroy liberal democracy and the Trans-Atlantic partnership, says a top Ukrainian leader. "The information attacks, the propaganda, the cyberattacks. We've lived through all the things they tested first in Ukraine," Natalie Jaresko, the country's former finance minister told David Axelrod on The Axe Files podcast, a joint production of CNN and the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics.

"It's shocking that they would take the risk of doing that in the United States. And now it appears -- I've seen reports -- Germany, France and elsewhere. "

And Trump is his best ally in this.

I just want to keep our eye on the ball. Russia has an end game and we need to protect our way of life, and the hope of all free thinking people.

I should get a stamp made that allows me to stamp your responses to facts about Trumps indiscretions, fallacy of relative privation. You constantly dredge up indiscretions from the past to address harmful facts posted about Trump today. It's not only ridiculous, but you make false claims that those whom you are conversing with, finds those past indiscretions acceptable.
