  2. 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?

  3. Yes, and now we know who all the rotten republicans are.

  4. Wow, total gibberish.

  5. Esteban Baez Mauricio - Well now aren't you intelligent. That is pretty much what Marx laid out, yet the communism of Stalin or the Chinese was warped and not at all what Marx was talking about.

  6. 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.

  7. Matthew Johnson - You are playing fast and loose with the truth with regards to your comment about AOC and the use of aircraft. Both AOC and Bernie have to work within the system we have now. What do you expect here, for Bernie to walk to and fro from Vermont to D.C.,? What you are doing is demonstrating your lack of capacity to think for yourself. All changes to a system come from within a system, using the system rules that exist in that moment. You are not coming up with your own solutions or proposals, you are just mocking those who have the bravery to do so. When you act in this manner, you are helping our country slide further toward fascism. This is exactly what Rupert Murdoch wants from you . . . and you just meekly give it to him?

  8. Misty Hall - I'm racist based on what remark exactly? Or are you just slinging mud because it makes you feel good? Be specific.

  9. Useless Shoe - Kid huh? This kid is probably old enough to be your father or grandfather. Since you gave no reference to which comment you are referring to when talking about keeping and spending your money as you choose . . . , and since I don't wish to read 70 some odd comments to in order to guess, I take it you are referring to taxes. I wonder if you know what taxes are supposed to do. Common wisdom says the federal government runs off our taxes, that is incorrect. However I could be wrong about what you are referring to . . . so how about you tell me what " principles" you are referring to and we can then have a discussion about it.

  10. Eli Mr173 Morris - I'm not going to review a month old post with 75 replies to find information for you that is a matter of public record. If you had asked for something specific, I might be inclined to be more accommodating, but really now . . . you are just wasting my time.

  11. Cymon Cyrado - The need for immigrants goes back to the founding of the country. The current hullabaloo is something else. Immigrants from the South America's are "enemies" now, but our businesses and politicians actively encouraged illegal immigration from the southern countries during the 1960's and 1970's. The purpose behind this encouragement was to undermine both wages and unions in the USA because workers in the USA has accumulated too much wealth and political power. That was then. Now . . . those same illegal immigrants are political scapegoats for the same businesses and politicians who invited them to come to our country in the first place. It was republicans who started this process, but democrats jumped on board when the immigrants who gained citizenship tended to vote democrat.

  12. Chris Walker - I have no fight with you, I actually agree with the sentiment that you are expressing. The history taught in schools is not the real history of our country. Yes, this land was ripped from the original inhabitants, people who knew how to live in harmony with the land and nature. Howard Zinn, Peoples History of the United States . . . teaches a more accurate history than any we learned in school. We cannot turn back time, but we can do something now to keep the rich bastards from killing all of us through the continuing rape of our mother home planet. Our mother planet is going to kill us all if we cannot find a way to curb the excesses and reel back the lifestyles that are literally dumping poisons into the air and water we need to live. Mother Earth is getting too warm, methane is escaping at increasing rates. Soon we will cause an extinction event to rival any that has come before, except maybe the Permian Extinction.

  13. 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?

  15. What piqued my interest is two videos: 1) All the missile parts laid out for a news conference, apparent "malfunctioning" cruise missiles that crashed in the desert. These caught my eye because I have built, flown and crashed fiberglass composite r/c aircraft and these missiles looked more like they were torn apart and smashed by hand tools rather than crashed. In addition, one of the missiles had "cobwebs" inside the open spaces between the fin and the sheet metal braces (shown in the longer video not this short clip). . . not something that would have survived flight at several hundred MPH. 2) The towers in the oil refineries were not hit by missiles. All missiles pack warheads that explode, blowing all non-armored metal structures they hit into shards. These towers were hit by short range artillery rounds, not missiles. This means the Saudis did this to themselves and all this is a set up. Even the parts shown in this video where whole panels with holes, square holes, panels that should have been greatly disfigured due to catastrophic explosive force . . . even the smallest missiles with a 50 pound warhead would do greater damage than that which was shown. This whole thing stinks of collusion between the Saudis and Trump to cause a war with Iran . . . .my fellow citizens of the USA, beware.

  16. Jeffrey Robertson - Thanks, they are a chore to deal with.

  17. Pnp6408 - If you are calling the behavior of the democrats disgusting, then you ARE playing the blame game. I remember Mitch McConnel and his disgusting behavior during the democrats "supposed" eight years, do you? Trump take gold for bad and hateful behavior, if that is what you mean by different. Both parties are corrupt. We have only one way to purge them, vote for those candidates who SWEAR OFF raising campaign contributions from PAC, wealthy donors, corporations, banks, unions, or any other lobbying source. WE the People are not corrupt.

  19. Kevin Allen - Wow . . . projecting much? Any actual brains in that head of yours? Lets see if you can wrap your brain around some real information. 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.

  22. So, the Saudis behead 37 people in a public execution and the United States president and Secretary of State are ok with that. The United States conducts siege warfare against Venezuela, a country that did nothing to the United States, and then blames socialism in Venezuela for people there not having enough food. Trump is deliberately creating the refugee crisis in south American countries, then using those refugees as a political tool to wind up his supporters. The republican party supports the outright slaughter of innocent people in Yemen . . . and they want us to vote for more republicans? Sorry folks, if you support this then you have no business calling yourself good christians or good Americans . . . how can you when you have no longer have anything resembling morals?

  26.  @lovemym16  - Not per the Constitution. It was the stupid "War Powers Act" of 1973 that granted the president limited war powers. Look what that got us, 18 years in Afghanistan, thousands of Americans dead and trillions of dollars wasted while our people have stagnant wages and a crumbling infrastructure.

  27. Yeah . . Meanwhile the republicans are now allies with the Russians, whose goal is to tear apart our democracy. So how do all of you square with that?.

  28. red pill christopher - You obviously know nothing at all about Marx. Go ahead, keep showing your vast ignorance. That is why the USA is really in trouble . . . vast and incomprensible ignorance. God is a fairy tail, its about time we grew out of the need for fairy tails. Do you people ever go outside and look up at the stars? So, so stupid. You are unbelievable, it is so sad that you are a representative of our citizenry in the USA.

  29. Louis Vanden Broucke - Easy to hate, the same way we find people who cannot spell to be stupid. You have no idea what you are saying, total and complete ignorance. No wonder the USA is turning into such a "shithole".

  32. Empty Head - I'll tell you why I am here on the Fox News comment section. Dept grows faster than the economy, that is always the case regardless of economic ideology. The Babylonians knew that. The Ancient Athenians Knew that. The Roman Empire knew that and then decided to forget it. Modern capitalism just ignores that and pretends it can grow forever. This channel is bought and paid for by the billionaire Rupert Murdoch, whose express purpose is to make you stupid so he and his buddies can do as they please . . . but also to keep you ignorant of Debt Jubilee. I am keenly interested in mankind's continuing survival and prosperity. Fox News stands opposed to my agenda and spews propaganda designed to keep you ignorant. I say that because I was ignorant for 55 years. When I started gigging on my own, that is when I learned enough over time to understand what is happening. So go ahead and disparage me . . . .but I suggest you start your own independent research project. You will learn some interesting things.

  33. Iran has done nothing but to respond in a proportionate manner to the aggression of the USA and Trump. This is all Trumps fault. Trump pulled us out of the Iran nuclear deal. Trump put crippling sanctions on Iran for no good reason. Trump ordered the assassination of Iran's top general. Iran has done nothing to hurt the USA. There is no evidence that Iran has taken any hostile action toward the USA. Iran has a one million man army, while the USA has a few thousand troops in the area. This is their part of the world, which the USA is mucking around in. Graham is an idiot. Trump is a moron. Pompeo is a buffoon. These half wits are going to get us into a war that we cannot win, and all this is a diversion by Trump to get us to look away from his crimes in and out of office. Anything that Iran does is directly the fault of Trump and those who support him.

  37. Listen up republicans. The only reason you are being spoon fed hatred of the immigrant is because those people who have $10 million in financial assets are getting half a million in free money every year and they don't want you to know that. So to divert your attention from the fact that your health care goes up every year to finance their free money grab, they feed you hate stories about how everything is the immigrants fault. Wise up, or you are personally going to sink the United States.

  38.  @shelbyholcombe8731  - But meanwhile, you don't seem to mind that wealthy citizens are looting and pillaging our people to the tune of $2.75 trillion every year. You don't seem to mind that free money is literally given to people who already have wealth, money taken directly our of your pockets and mine. You really need to get your priorities straightened out, immigrants are not the problem in our country. The problem are the rich bastards who take a small portion of the free money they are getting and using it to fill your head with blatant propaganda.

  39.  @davidhicks745  - Whats the matter? Do you not know how to read? I already know that you cannot do any fact checking for yourself, preferring to be spoon fed propaganda by rich bastards who are laughing at you while they fill their pockets with your hard earned money.

  40.  @billypardew2337  - What are the immigrants, legal or illegal, doing that is quite as bad as what the wealthy are doing? Did you know that over 13% of our yearly economic output is being paid in "free money" to those who are already wealthy? How does that even compare with what these poor immigrants are "supposedly" doing?

  43.  @bobl2887  - The reason you have to work seven days a week is because of the wealthy. The reason you feel the homeless are lazy and undeserving is because the wealthy told you that. You are listening to a media outlet owned by a billionaire, that should give you a clue. Did you even read what I wrote, or has the propaganda you listen to rotted your brain? You and your family will have nothing in 30 years unless we stop the wealthy from taking it all. You are so much against "free money" for the poor, but you are so compromised that you don't see that the wealthy are getting trillio9ns in "free money" every year which is coming out of your pocket and mine. Stop being a tool for the billionaires and help protect your fellow citizens.

  44.  @gumbothundereagle8006  - It will not suffice for you to simply write "not true", those two words standing on their own without any reference to where they are aimed or what they apply to will earn you a very unpleasant moniker.

  45.  @gumbothundereagle8006  - I see that you have limited linguistics capability, except in the matter of firearms. I hope you understand that by the terms of "the 10% will own all wealth" . . . it includes your firearms, of which I am not at all interested in because I have my own. I don't particularly enjoy the idea of having them confiscated.

  46.  @gumbothundereagle8006  - I see that you also have an English language comprehension problem, which is unfortunate because it appears you also have a math comprehension problem. Those two problems combined puts you in an unfortunate situation, because it means that you are not fit to survive. Lets tackle the reading problem first. Wealth does not come to those who earn it, it comes freely to those who have more of it, drawn away from those who have less wealth. Comprende? Do you understand finance capitalism, which has usurped productive (work to earn) capitalism? Or should I now address you as "Dumbo Meekly Slave?

  47. I cannot believe all the morons who call themselves republicans think that the criminals they elect as politicians, are actually helping the USA.

  49. If you think republicans are so great, then you must also think the workers are doing wonderfully under republican policies, yes? Question then: WHY has the value of workers median wages been cut by over half in the past three decades under republican policies? Read the question and suss out its meaning before you answer. Charts will tell you that median wages are stagnant or have risen somewhat over three decades. So here is another question for you: Do you know HOW the value of workers median wages has been cut by over half in the past three decades? Everybody please feel free to chip in on these two questions. Lets see if you republican snowflakes can actually put your money where your mouth is.
