Dare I dream for a third obama term...... It is illegal though.:smt011

I will make a prediction that none of that will happen. Either Trump or Clinton will be president.

Honestly imagination.

That scenario is too horrifying to think about...I prefer mine. LOL.

Last December Janet Yellen went on record saying she would like to raise rates(the central bank rate is currently at <.50%) another .25 to .5% in 2016. So far there have been no increases in 2016. That should concern EVERYONE as before last December we were at <.25% for about 8 YEARS and that was a HISTORIC low, meant to stimulate spending. We got a .25 bump in December based largely on the improvement of the unemployment rate, and low consumer prices.

The problem with keeping rates as low as they are now for so long is the risk of inflation, or even worse stagflation. If you have a spare 30 mins watch the video below, the best, most concise, easy to understand, and insightful presentation of what the economy really is and how to use the knowledge to your benefit that I have come across.

The main reason we have have not had a bump in the OFFR (overnight federal funds rate, otherwise known as the central banking rate) is because inflation is not rising, which means that people in general are not trusting the economy and holding on to their cash, when people do that, the economy cant grow, companies will eventually lay people off, and sooner or later another recession or worse will hit us hard in the face, and it will be 2007-2008, or god forbid 1929 all over again.

Bottom line, the higher the central banking rates, the better off the economy, ours are still WAY TOO LOW.

well there is the Maine Gov. You know the one who said black come from NYC to sell drugs and impregnate white girls. He got elected. Proud Trump supporter too.

This is great! Thank you for posting!

I'd rep you but I have spread some around first.

Question; if you ran for office, what would you run as given our current political climate?

After years of working within the system as part of a republican PAC, I switched to independent status a few years ago. I have stepped away from politics at this moment of my life due to time constraints, work, looking after elderly family members and two VERY busy teenagers takes up most of my wife's and my free time.

Once the kids head off to college in a few years I will get back to it as politics is in my blood, not sure if I have the patience to deal with all of the gridlock as an actual candidate, my skill set is better utilized behind the scenes, fundraising, advising, PAC work, lobbying for the candidates and causes I believe in.

Barbara Streisand said if Trump wins she wants to move to Australia or Canada if they will have her.
Ok but she lives in LA, Mexico is around the corner. Why not choose Mexico?
 
Beasty said:
Would you?

Yes, if I was a liberal who accused Trump of defiling Mexicans and Mexico and of seeking a White America.
Now if l was a limousine liberal, then no... as Pure as the driven Snow is, l'd seek out Australia.. a country far on the other side of the world..or Canada..with all that fresh White Snow. :-?
 
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz wins the primary yesterday.

W.T.F.

Seriously, WTF is wrong with the democrat voters in Florida?

I am truly disgusted.

Omg! I can't stop laughing. What an absolute joke.

Debbie is probably an outstanding rep for his district.

Just because she's a biased DNC chief doesn't mean her core constituents are going to vote her out of office.

Look at it this way, if Bernie had one of his key operatives selected to head the DNC 5 years ago, you think all of a sudden that operative is going to be a fair and impartial DNC president when Bernie runs for the Democratic party's nominee for POTUS???

Anyway the DNC didn't really cut Bernie off.
Debbie just wasn't pulling for him.

Just like I'm sure RNC chair Reince Priebus wasn't pulling for Trump to win the GOP nomination for POTUS.

She almost got voted out.
56.8%
43.2%

Also don't understand the dislike with florida. I can't begin to understand why rham is mayor but that doesn't represent ILL. Blows my mind away and I have yet to be shown why.

In what universe is winning by 13% "almost" getting voted out?

The dislike for FL voters is the fact that DWS has won her primary. She's horribly corrupt and morally bankrupt and yet wins her primary.

It shows that the voters who voted for her could give two shits about her very recent previously bad behavior and actually don't mind REWARDING her disgusting primary behavior.

I assume he needed 7% and not 13%

If the opposing person got 7%, he would have office. That's close to me.
less than 1/4 of the district voted. Just say you don't like DWS's voters because honestly you are right about her voters.
