I think market is overreacting and will soon correct the correction but this problem is on Trump. Can you elaborate? I thought this is just a natural squeeze resulting from interest rates actually starting to somewhat exist. | ||

I hope that for once his blind followers believe that their dear leader is at fault, regardless of whether or not he is. I want to see his approval rating drop to the single digits, I want him and pence stripped of their titles, I want trump, pence, and every one of their relatives to be walked out of the white house in handcuffs never to see the light of day again for what they have done. | ||

In simple terms those events are accurate but there are two causes and that is why people are jumpy. The wage rise was surprisingly good, good but surprising. Personally I was mpre surprised it took so long but either way that was the spark. People saw that realized that with both those rises AND the tax bill rates have to go up quickly. That part is not on Trump though he and everyone else should have seen it coming. Now before I go on I still think panoc is unwarranted and that market will recover but the tax bill is a huge driver. You don't pump a bunch of money into an economy doing well. Inflation is the logical problem there but everyone just choose to ignore it. You pour gas on a fire you have no oneelse to blame when it gets out of control | ||

Also, the promise of this amazing tax cut has contributed to this inflated, frothy market to boot. | ||

(1) the tax cut is going to spike government debt requirements and force the government to sell more T-bills [thus raising the price investors will ask]. (2) his new Fed Chair isn't Yellen and wants higher interest rates to reward holders of capital. You know what the stock market hates? Higher interest rates. When borrowing is more expensive, growth is more expensive. ** Also, his tax cut was entirely focused on rewarding people who pay taxes outside of W2s. But it is the W2 people who spend money. So all the windfalls from his tax cut will go to the capital class who aren't about to spend that windfall. But they will invest it... in... uh, things. | ||

In general, voting for a party that motto really should be “fuck the weak and the poor” and pray for a religion that talks all day long about humility, compassion, brotherhood and acceptance, must make one really bullet proff to cognitive dissonances. Now, one should not be surprised that MLK has been transformed into a benign, consensual figure and stripped of anything controversial or subversive. We live in a society that loves to keep the most consensual and put under the carpet anything that could make people think and question the established order in its icons. If this is going to be the go to poorly thought out "get over it", we should at least mention this is more like Jewish/Roman people promoting Jesus as a pro Jewish establishment capitalist while his apostles were still around. Oh and making sure any synagogue or newly built church taught the same thing so that any opposing history would be nearly non-existent in documents recording it There's plenty of differences but the fact that people that knew him personally are still alive is a pretty damn big one. Just to be clear, I'm not really surprised, and I don't have to be to think it's wildly offensive. | ||

There is a very real chance the Republicans can’t pass this bill. Paul Ryan wouldn't even assure a vote on whatever DACA bill the Senate sends them. Not that it would pass. That he won’t even assure the Democrats it would be put up for debate and voted on, even if it was going to fail. Because he and the conservatives know that any DACA bill that gets put to the floor of the House might pass. And he might vote against this spending bill. What a bunch of clowns. | ||
