Essential Economics for Politicians

This is about Socialism. The idea here is that Capitalism is not accountable, and so this act is going to hold Capitalism accountable. In reality, capitalism holds everybody accountable. Under a Capitalist system, everybody is accountable for their own actions. If you screw up, then you have to suffer the consequences. If you make a mistake, it's on you. If your business fails, there's not bail-out. Capitalism is the Ultimate in Accountability So Capitalism is the ultimate in accountability. It's fair and everybody is held accountable for their own decisions and their own actions. What Elizabeth Warren wants to do is to take that accountability away. She wants to have the government get in there and take away the accountability inherent in the Capitalist system.


When everyone is held accountable for their OWN actions you then have a society
that flourishes.

We have a GROWING homeless population because they DO NOT WANT TO BE
ACCOUNTABLE !


A Country cannot subsist off of Leeches, it's doomed for failure....

The Leeches must be removed from the societal tit and either become self sustaining or
they cease to exist.

The Pilgrims found that out real fast and changed.....
Why should it be any different now !!!!

We have politicians that would rather bail out a failing company instead of allowing Capitalism to hold them accountable for their actions or lack of. Warren is one of those self proclaimed smart people that never get it. I think the three of them dem socialist should live in Venezuela for a year.

A woman who woke up from a thirty-year coma in 2018 would be forgiven if she looked around and came to believe our world is falling apart.

Cable news and social media are a steady drumbeat of negativity. There is a sense the world is not right.

Russian collusion. Xenophobia. Antifa. Unite the Right. Stormy Daniels. #MeToo. Mass shootings. The Deep State. It’s a cacophony of angst, outrage, and political anger.

The woman who emerged from her coma would have little or no idea that the world is experiencing an economic miracle, just as most people today do not. But it’s happening just the same.--J. Miltimore
 
Americans Have an Odd View of the Middle Class

Breathless narratives about a “shrinking U.S. middle class” from politicians and media—which often neglect to mention that America’s middle class is shrinking because Americans are getting wealthier—have probably added to the confusion.
 
glance at the chart below reveals that the decline in world poverty took place during the Pax Americana, a period notable for relative peace that witnessed the defeat of socialism and an unprecedented expansion of freedom and trade. (As oppressive as China’s system may be politically, there’s no question it underwent vast economic liberalization beginning in the 1970s.)

It’s unclear if we’re at the beginning of the Pax Americana or its end. Only time will tell.

Whatever the case, the last 70 years reveal what can be achieved when humans and nations work and trade together.

What Sanders and all lawmakers should know is that as something becomes more expensive, people buy less of it. Sanders seems to understand this when it suits him. In 2015, he said that the way to reduce carbon pollution is to impose a tax on businesses that pollute. A year later, he said that the way to reduce stock market speculation is to impose a tax on people who speculate.

Connecting the dots, imposing a tax on businesses that hire poor workers will reduce the number of poor workers they hire. Why? Because the workers will be more expensive. Bernie Sanders has written a law whose purpose is to harm the working poor.

Sanders and Ocasio 2020!!!!

Did you hear Bernie didn't even endorse his own kid in the primary because he knew he wouldn't win?

Bernie Sanders won’t endorse his son for Congress, citing “dynasty politics”

Father’s Day at the Sanders household could be awkward. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is publicly keeping a distance from his son Levi Sanders’s congressional campaign in New Hampshire. The senator declined to endorse his son when Levi announced his candidacy in February, and he’s still staying out of it; he says it’s for the sake of avoiding “dynasty politics.”

The younger Sanders, 49, is one of multiple Democrats and Republicans running to replace outgoing Democratic Rep. Carol Shea-Porter in representing New Hampshire’s First District. He has styled himself after his father, with his campaign website calling for a system that “represents the 99 percent and not the 1 percent who have never had it so good.”

But whatever Levi Sanders is putting down, Bernie Sanders is not picking up — at least not enough to endorse his only son. When contacted by the Boston Globe about Levi Sanders’s candidacy this week, Bernie provided a statement highlighting his support for a higher minimum wage, infrastructure spending, and free public education. As to whether voters should cast their ballots for him, he wouldn’t say.

“Levi has spent his life in service to low income and working families, and I am very proud of all that he has done,” Sanders said. “In our family, however, we do not believe in dynastic politics. Levi is running his own campaign in his own way.”

Sen. Sanders offered a similarly tepid statement when Levi announced his candidacy, saying, “The decision as to who to vote for will be determined by the people of New Hampshire’s first district, and nobody else.”

Levi Sanders is Bernie Sanders’s son with his ex-girlfriend Susan Campbell Mott. He is his only biological child.

The senator appears on Levi’s campaign website, but what you see is his back as he walks away. Levi’s Twitter photo is an image of him and his father taking a mirror selfie together.

It’s not like Bernie is afraid of endorsements
Bernie Sanders is a popular figure in New Hampshire. He won the 2016 Democratic presidential primary there by a wide margin, bringing in 60 percent of the vote compared to Hillary Clinton’s 38 percent. Among potential 2020 presidential candidates, he polls well, even though in a recent poll he’s not the leader.

There are two ways to read his lack of public enthusiasm for his son’s campaign: He really means what he says and thinks dynasty politics is bad, or he’s not particularly impressed with Levi as a candidate.

Sanders hasn’t been particularly frugal with his endorsements. According to Ballotpedia, he endorsed 107 candidates and 33 ballot measures in 2016 and 62 candidates and two ballot measures in 2017. This year, he’s already endorsed two candidates — Randy Bryce in Wisconsin and Ben Jealous in Maryland — and one ballot measure, and he often campaigns for and supports candidates across the country.

His shyness on his son could be what he says. He probably doesn’t want the Sanders clan to wind up like the Clintons, Kennedys, Bushes, or Trumps. But Levi Sanders isn’t the ideal congressional candidate, either, and perhaps the senator doesn’t want to be damaged by tying himself too much to his son should he decide to run for president again in 2020.

New Hampshire political observers told the Boston Globe that Levi Sanders’s campaign isn’t particularly impressive, with former state Sen. Burt Cohen telling the publication nobody is “really considering Levi as an option.” State Rep. Tim Smith told the Globe he doesn’t know anyone “in the New Hampshire Bernie community who is excited about Levi running.”

Levi Sanders doesn’t live in the district he’s running to represent, and while that’s not required, it doesn’t help his cause. He resides in Claremont, in New Hampshire’s Second District, which is about an hour away. Whereas his father excelled in fundraising, Levi has struggled, ending March with just under $11,500 on the books. He’s picked up two endorsements — from New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and California Rep. Ro Khanna — but not his dad’s.

Vox’s Dylan Matthews, who has a full explainer on Levi Sanders, pointed out that some of the candidate’s past social media activity also raises some questions. On Twitter, he has criticized “identity politics” and said criticisms of “white privilege” turn off working-class voters. He tweeted he didn’t think “working-class families” would care about President Donald Trump using a racial slur and complained that eliminating Confederate flag license plates “hurts people’s rights.”
