12 years without a recession would be unprecedented.

so hillary's very likely to be trying to get re-elected with a lousy economy during the campaign, or in the recent past.
rarely an easy task.


i know, i know, let's win this one first....

The only thing I'll say is HRC needs to govern from the left on economic issues and stay there.

... and few have kept up with the to the level they should be kept up with.

If someone is automated out of their job or displaced out of their jobs the "here's some money go find something you hate to do" isn't a good answer.

The DNC has a chance to capture that vote by doing some practical and proven train and track program and have the companies who are doing the displacement pay for it

... America for the sake of their bottom line.

The company who does the displacement via automation or offshoring should take care of some of the effects of the displacement no?

She said the same thing about the coal industry when all the stupid talking point shit which came spewing out of dipshit donnie and his surrogates. But tweety wasn't listening that day. All everyone did was seize on a single sentence. And media merrily went about making a horse race.

Since I have had a lot of time in the energy industry things have been changing for a long time. But recently it has accelerated. The company I worked for did incentive packages for people to retire early. I was lucky. Others weren't in the same position. It was all due to automation. What was at one time 4 control centers dropped to 3, then dropped to 2, and one day I'm sure will be 1. All the normal rounds people had to make to check on equipment, levels, temperatures, etc were reduced due to remote sensing and computer controls.

He's wrong almost as often as Bill Kristol, for god's sake, though not quite as pointedly objectionable as Bill Maher.

Further, that crap about "a rough road and probably only a one term" is an olive branch for Conservative viewers: he's telling them that Clinton will be elected, but he's softening the blow by assuring them that she won't last.

I can't stand him, and I cringe every time I seem him praised or quoted here on DU.

Bill Kristol is NEVER right.
