Disaster bankruptcy sided economics

He really does not live in the real world.

Small hands, you know.

One of our current mayoral candidates' anecdotes is how he lost the school treasurer job he held his freshman year, because he gave a detailed policy speech while his opponent ran into the auditorium in the school mascot uniform, tossing candy to everyone, and promised free stuff to everyone. Hmm. I don't think that has anything to do with anything, but...

I would love to see some of the media take Obama's suggestion and point out the type of disaster that would lead to.

Bernie wants to make it better.

Wasn't that clever of them?

We're in the primaries. The GOP primary is done. Trump is set.

Our battle is still being decided so yes, debating and protesting each other at this point in time, is appropriate.

Protests like this can only be harmful in establishing resentment.

That "math" you guys keep throwing around is hilarious.

41%. Even though he'll do better in the remaining primaries than that, it won't be by that much. Besides, he's behind in California right now and voting there starts soon.

I'd be willing to bet just about everything that I have that he doesn't even come close to 65% in CA. Hell, I'd be a little surprised if he broke 50% there.

but they like punctuation; especially exotic uses. In the future, will all online news articles have spelling and punctuation errors? I wonder why no one [other US Federal Agents] attempts to create [code] problems for enemies of freedom.

"...a largely Latino crowd in Monterey Park, where Union del Barrio organized a protest against Clinton over her immigration policies and opposition to a national $15 hourly minimum wage"

The headline is just plain wrong.

I can't believe this guy might actually become the POTUS. I really can't.

States.

The Harriet Tubman argument will be over, as we can simply replace the face on all our bills with a clown.

Believe it or not, that is exactly what Trump is talking about. And it is great to destroy things like social security and other safety nets. See Greece for a dramatic example in the modern period.

Yeah, read a couple pieces, and that is precisely what Trump is talking about. It is scary as hell, but not that far fetched. And yes it would do incredible damage to the economy.

Wait!, Their already in control. Guess a bankruptcy wouldn't be so bad after all.
It doesn't matter if trump or whoever gets voted in as long as the rich elite are in control we all, as the 99%, are screwed.

dollars in their choice of bank$ter accounts.

We are the sole manufacturer of said dollar, something we do by adding zeroes to a computer. We can never run out. We cannot "go bankrupt". We can inflate the amount or deflate it, but it's just zeroes. Also, I think there is a note somewhere that says we have to pay our bills, cannot go bankrupt. In the constitution, perhaps?

Understanding Modern Money: The Key to Full Employment and Price Stability - L. Randall Wray (1998)

It's not the kitchen cookie jar theory of economics, in which there is an "empty" or broke that most seem to refer to, but it is a treatise on modern methods of money and its use by this government.

There are docs and some videos of Federal Reserve folks, as well as others, offering this same theory, and it does explain what we do since we no longer base it on shiny metal.
