What the hell are you talking about?
Hillary might kill Bill, but she will never kill herself.
“...extracted from the private economy...”
Why would using government money for contracts to hire private construction workers and buy materials from private manufacturing companies be a bad thing?
I fully realize that government spending doesn’t grow the economy per se - I totally get this. Trump’s plan to bring back our manufacturing to this country, deregulate business and fix the trade deficits are on track for real/actual/tangible economic growth.
These are two separate areas; we need to hire people to fix our infrastructure AND we need to grow the private sector and bring back the jobs that NAFTA sent overseas.
Trump probably sees this as a BOTH/AND scenario.
All in all, infrastructure spending by government is an inefficient way to grow the economy. It may be that infrastructure should be improved but that is a decision which should be made on its own merits not as a job producing measure or sold as such.
There’s no difference, but they are trying to mask their true colors by giving Marxism a fancier name. I won’t oblige.
Ping-A-Ding-Dong-Doolie!..............
Very interesting point you’ve made to tie in such an unrelated question into setting up for the fix.
Being reporteded this am that jeh w/DHS has already been asked to help over 18 states with election security issues.
True. That's how I felt.
Woo Hoo!!!!!!!
“...missed...”
No. I understand that rebuilding infrastructure is not a job producing measure in the sense that it fixes the underlying unemployment problem and I clearly stated it.
Trump is not using the infrastructure issue as his means to fix the economy.
It is a separate problem to be solved. I am simply pointing out that the blue collar construction jobs that would result in parallel would not be a bad thing - I am not suggesting - as a liberal would - that this would fix the underlying problem.
Trump FULLY realizes that one has to grow the economy by bringing back manufacturing. It is one of his major platforms and this ignoring this to “prove” that Trump is actually not conservative does not really work. I think you missed my statement that Trump’s position is BOTH/AND.
I think that’s a reaction to “Tramp,” including an assumption that you’re a NeverTrump, Cruz guy. Ah, the Army guys are so right about the word “assume.”
FYI, FOAD is “f off and die,” just in case you weren’t being sarcastic to the other guy. Again, that assume thing is working its special kind of magic.
For at least the last several election cycles, the so-called debates have been so tightly scripted as to virtually remove the concept of an actual debate from the event. Neither side wishes to take too much of a risk, so all kinds of rules are put into place to avoid truly stunning defeats. Of course, that does not prevent somebody from really screwing up badly, but the intent is to avoid something like that. This is contrary to the free-for-all nature of the true debates that our politicians engaged in in the 1800s and early 1900s.
I thought Trump was an anti-globalist, nationalist, populist?
Seriously, Trump has some conservative virtues but lacks many others such as acceding to an increase in the minimum wage and creating an entirely new entitlement. But we are now in a binary choice situation and the alternative is utterly unacceptable.
Nate Silver needs a recipe for the crow, he will be eating!
Clinton Won The Debate, Which Means She’s Likely To Gain In The Polls
If she doesn’t, Trump could be tough to beat.

Democrats woke up on Monday to a spate of bad polls for Hillary Clinton, which brought Donald Trump to perhaps his closest position yet in the Electoral College. They had reason to go to bed feeling a lot better.
Clinton bested Trump in the first presidential debate according to a variety of metrics, and the odds are that she’ll gain in head-to-head polls over Trump in the coming days.
Nate, it is [ast time for you to retire and shut up!
Certain things stick in your mind about debates over the long term, usually blunders like George Bush checking his watch or Gerard Ford seeming to not realize that Eastern Europe was under Soviet control. Or one liners like "There you go again" and "Where's the beef."
But given a couple more weeks, most people are going to be hard-pressed to remember much about Tuesday's debate. No major mistakes were made and no memorable one-liners were delivered.
As it should.
Yes, my NY friends are socially liberal as well, but none would ever vote Democrat. Ever.
Remember the complaining mere weeks ago about how many GOP debates there were before the convention? Nobody remembers there were about 20 of them in the 2012 cycle, and hardly anyone can recall a single detail from then.
