To me, all economic imbalances eventually get corrected. The deeper the imbalance, the more turbulent the correction in general. THus, the debt absolutely terrifies me as I struggle to see anything less severe than a Greece-type correction.
count me as extremely disappointed that more of our elected representatives are willing to put their assets into frozen or blind instruments while in office, and furthermore unwilling to codify this legally.
I guess I’m in the lead for the “naive fool of the century” award
New York, in my estimation, has made so much progress since the early 70’s when they were in deep trouble. only question to me now is how damaging this will be before wiser people get elected . . . or am I too optimistic and NY will go into a long-term downward socialist spiral?
editorial from WSJ on this. Unfortunately behind a paywall
So help me with the logic for why he would sign that bill . . . he is not dumb, yet this seems stupid to the point of dangerous. WHat thread of logic is he latching onto?
Cynically, I find this to be expected. The political toolkit “smear your opponent” is open to all, and subject to use by both parties as circumstances make convenient.
My office is in Illinois, and I can personally attest to the large number of people trying to get out. Moreover, when we hire and relocate people, almost all of them choose to live in Indiana. REasons are obvious to those who follow IL news, and I can go into them if anyone is unfamiliar.
I really think we need to pass whatever legislation is needed to re-draw districts only after the 10 year census. I’d like guidance on some kind of non-partisan team to do this and/or some “geometric” limitations. probably a long-shot, and may require a constitutional amendment. I suspect a plurality of AMericans are or will soon be really sick of this.
yes cringeworthy
BUt also potentially REALLY STUPID! We shall if it matters or not, but I think this or something similar sure could bite him.
I will be curious what form this actually takes. He obviously backed off on Chicago, and I don’t believe has yet sent any “troops” to Memphis.
Pendulums definitely swing! Sometimes in minor ways, and sometimes major. I feel like right now we have a pendulum swinging in multiple dimensions, and things will settle into a a more moderate pattern of change by 2030. We shall see . . .
to me energy is inexpensive when looked at through a lens of energy inflation over the last 50 or 60 years, and also as % of economic inputs. So curious what makes you say, “If we had cheap energy . . . “
