Randy Autrand - Randy, that little rant was a waste of breath. You have been suckered, the problem is that both parties are corrupted by the "wealthy run amok" and your brain is just a little too tiny to handle that information. Lets see if you can cotton on to the real issue, if brain rot has not made you incapable yet.
The "running their cities into the ground" phenomenon is bigger than Democratic mayors, and Trump is just the latest symptom of our degradation. The real problem goes much deeper and started well over a century ago. Capitalism is unstable, could not survive the gold standard, could not survive the post World War 2 "Bretton Woods Agreement" . . . and finally cannot survive the free floating "fiat currency" era since 1971. The media and the Fed concentrate on core inflation, yet have not accounted for the effects of stagnant wages, currency devaluation and asset inflation. The homeless are growing, because wages are far outstripped by the tripling (or more) of housing costs as the wealthy must have a way to grow their pie and increasing costs is their vehicle of choice. In 30 years the top 10% will own all wealth, what will people do then for shelter?

I can't figure out my fellow Americans, are you too scared, or do you just not care? In 30 years, 10% of Americans will OWN ALL WEALTH.
Today Donald Hump proposed rounding up homeless in California and putting them into internment camps costing over $700/day/per individual . . . paid for by the Federal Government. Fox News has been drumming up support for this policy idea all week.
For the cost of this "internment" plan, all homeless could easily be housed without losing their freedom.
More people are on their way to homelessness and it will include people that used to think it would never happen to them.
The 1% in this country have $30 trillion in accumulated wealth they are not spending, at a mere 2% interest it would take all the GDP gains for
2018 plus an additional $40 billion to pay. Yet when I look at S&P500 index funds, they have been paying over 9% since 1994. Look at a more moderate 5% rate of return, that comes out to $1.5 trillion which eats all 2018's GDP gain plus 1/20th of the entire economy.
Thom reported on the U.S. Treasury report in August 2019 which spelled out in detail that in 33 years, the top 10% will own ALL wealth in the
USA. The bottom 90% are all going to end up in internment camps.
So what is wrong with all of YOU, that whenever I bring this topic up of the wealthy eating our economy whole . . . I hear nothing but silence? Are you all too scared to react, to horrified to take serious action, or even to think about what must be done? Is fighting a racist agenda more important to you? These wealthy people don't care at all if you are white, black, brown, yellow or purple. They are distracting us on purpose with everything under the sun, do you simply not care that soon you and your children, your entire families will be homeless or worse . . . in internment camps?

Darlene Royce - Let us talk about real issues. The wall is a diversion so that "Mr President" does not have to deal with stagnant wages, the lack of any type of job security with benefits like pensions, the fact that housing and energy and health insurance and college tuition and transportation costs have all risen over 200% since "trickle down Ronnie" . . . . or that China has single handedly saved the entire global economy from crashing after the 2008 so-called recession, which was caused by the USA BTW.
The wall is a con job, to distract you from criminal donny's incompetence. Have you even looked at that the Senate republicans have been up to over the past two years? They are not passing any legislation that is helping the American people . . . so what exactly have they been doing?
Oh-yeah . . . they have been confirming unqualified pro-corporate, anti-citizen federal judges at a rate so fast that in two years more federal judges have been seated than in all eight years of the previous administration. Why would they do that? Well now, that brings us to the longest running con pulled on the American people. Republicans pretending to be upright citizens of the USA and standing for the Constitution. The reality is this, republicans want the Constitution gone, burned to ash.
Don the Con will topple the federal government if he can, that is his goal. He does not believe in democracy or the Constitution. Mitch is in on this also, those federal judges are in place to undermine the Constitution, not to shore it up. Get a grip.

RC Hobbyist Extreme - Shut your pie hole, you are staining a great hobby . . . one that honors the old USA when it had a conscience. California pays for red state degradation along with New York, if we stopped paying for the rest of the country we would have plenty to fund our own problems. The federal government depends on California to bail it out. YOu really have to cut your own strings . . . PUPPET, the wealthy oligarch propaganda has you be the balls.
The "running their cities into the ground" phenomenon is bigger than Democratic mayors, and Trump is just the latest symptom of our degradation. The real problem goes much deeper and started well over a century ago.

Matthew Johnson - With all due respect, you sound sincere however it is you who is mistaken. I've been studying this phenomenon along with other possible "stories" that might be told of humanity's future. Not my entire life, to be sure. This is a recent development that was out outgrowth of a research project I did on our economy. I am 57 now and I began the aforementioned research project when I was 55. Before that time I thought myself well versed in economics, but I was very much incorrect in that assumption.
Point of fact. We give up a certain amount of freedom no matter what we do to feed ourselves, to cloth and house ourselves . . . you must know this.
I have never claimed that we should go a "socialist route". The reason why? There really is not any set path with one ideology that can be viable, the past forty years outline that fact. The economy and society are one entity, we will solve our problems with a mixture or recipe of ideas and actions. Speaking of recipes, have you ever tasted a perfectly good meal that was spoiled by in injudicious use of spices? I have, so I will claim that the economy and society we have now is rather sour. We need a better recipe.
One thing I have not been able to turn up in my research is an overall view of what resources we have here in the USA. We do need a plan for our future, one that is agreed on by our people, We just cannot keep barreling down the economic highway with every mile marker . . . simply marking more growth. If you stop to think about it, exponential growth is not possible . . . . yet every GDP report that shows growth does not separate out the growth from the previous report. Every gain is added to the base from which growth will be measured for the next report. It it apparent that our economic growth is outstripping the resources of this world.
Like it or not, something is going to change. If we choose to act, we can moderate whatever discomfort or pain accompanies that change. If we squabble and fight, the change will happen and we will be helpless to do anything but go for the ride. Personally I want humanity to survive and prosper, so all viable alternatives such as socialism, a resource based system, a market system, or a viable mix of systems must be on the table.
I could go on, bringing in such topics as supply, monetary inflation, energy use and production . . . but those topics require a dialog. The Fox News crowd is not known for their capacity for dialog . . . . but one can hope. To be honest, I also come here to vent my frustration upon those very people who are most responsible for our moving in the wrong direction. That is you folk, and I come here to squabble with you.

867 5309 - My Lady is not ready, so I have time now to address your comment. You said that Fox tends to "take a much more fiscally conservative approach on domestic policy". I am not aware that this is the case. Can you cite examples?
Fiscal conservatism serves well in households (I adhere to fiscal conservatism to run our household budget), also for local and state governments. However, fiscal conservatism serves little legitimate purpose with regards to the federal government and is not visionary at all (we need visionary in the federal government). Since the USA is the sole proprietor and manufacturer of the U.S. Dollar, the only usefulness for fiscal conservatism is keep an eye on available resources and make sure the manufacture of dollars does not amplify inflation. Meanwhile as per the Constitution, the federal government should concern itself with "the general Welfare" (note the capitalization of Welfare, as stated in the Constitution) of the entire citizenry of the USA and should never write policy into law that is so bent toward the Oligarchy that it creates distress among the population.
What I am most concerned with is the federal domestic policy of today and the past four decades. The "hardcore Trotsky/Straussian communists" roots of present day neocons does not concern me, their present day actions concern me. The modern neocon seems to exclusively want to keep the military/industrial economy going for the benefit of those who gain their wealth from it. That is just sick, and since all of their wealth comes directly from the U.S. Treasury, I want to see neocons become extinct. Our military has been used almost exclusively for empire building since the end of World War Two and has directly caused the problems most on the far-right keep griping about.
Codependent with the neocons are the wealth hoarding (so-called) conservatives of every stripe, that depend on on interventionism to prop up a collapsing capitalism. When capital has been hoarded to the extent that economic circulation of capital is asphyxiated . . . it seems the only solution policy makers come up with is the looting of additional resources to prop up capitalism (example, squeezing Venezuela).
Now, back to California. How exactly is this state being systematically destroyed by democrats? There are many problems here, but republican governors and administrations have only made those problems worse, not better. Can you cite examples? What am I missing here?

Terry Michaels - Your comment is absolute proof that you have not done any substantial research into socialism. If you had, t you would not be making such asinine and ignorant comments. How do you feel then about major corporations paying their employees well under a living wage, and then assisting their employees to sign up for food stamps and medicare . . . thus having the federal government subsidize the wages of their employees? The employer then pockets profit derived from the lower wage they pay. Meanwhile, the same corporations pay ZERO federal taxes, which is a giveaway . . . free money. How do you
feel about that?
Free money from the federal government to corporations is not socialism, because that money does not benefit society except for the bare handful of individuals who end up taking the money. Meanwhile the food stamps and medicare their employees are now enrolled in is socialism, except that it is punitive socialism that still places a burden on society for both the worker and the taxpayer. How do you feel about that?
You see, if you had done any substantial research on socialism in the modern age, you would have found that unlike capitalism which is rigid, unchanging and always ends up extracting wealth from the people instead of generating wealth . . . socialism is adaptive. Modern socialism is not a top down government planning of everything like the right wing propaganda is always pushing. That fact alone proves that you are a poser and a liar. You never researched anything about socialism, you just listen to FOX FAKE NEWS propaganda.
Get real. Do some actual research that proves you are not a mindless, thoughtless, ignorant idiot who believes propaganda . . . then we will talk.

G Milla - How can anyone have a discussion when the first statement is "man-made climate change is a hoax"? Regardless of whether the US is a problem in this area or not, making such a claim does nothing to help solve such a problem. We all use fuel burning transportation, we gave up our car but we still take the bus to get our groceries and the stores use trucks to get supply deliveries, we use electricity also. All of us are very aware of our everyday use of carbon based fuels.
You are doing nothing to help with this attitude and you are not using logical thinking even though you used those words to make your case. It took millions of years for nature to sequester the carbon from natural sources into the ground. The earth had huge volcanoes in the past that belched out carbon, one example is the Permian Period which featured massive volcanic eruptions. It is the only known mass extinction of insects . . . until the modern era. (Now insects are dying off at a rate of 2.5% per year, so in 100 years there will be no more insects, therefore no pollinators, therefor no more food). It took 500,000 years for the carbon of that era to be filtered out enough for higher life forms to once again arise on earth.
In the modern age, we are taking carbon out of the ground and burning it at a rate natural systems cannot keep up with. This has been proven already through study and experiment. Facts are not erased just because you and that idiot Trump claim it is a hoax.
So if AOC is doing nothing to help (which is categorically incorrect), what are you doing? Oh yeah, you claim climate change is a hoax, so you are doing nothing. That is ok, the world is full of imbeciles and you are obviously among them. We will do what we can without you. You listen to and obviously believe the propaganda spew from Fox, so of course you are an imbecile . . . in other words, a useless human.
