NOAA Admin + Trump

[Admin]

I know you are just responding to Riders comment, but I'm also pretty certain that you realize that the Dow is not indicative of the general economy.

Also, Bush did not create the 6,600 low, that was ultimately the result of the relaxed lending policies.  Plenty of blame to go around...

Hi Bean,

Nasdaq, S&P, Russell, all of the indices mirror the Dow in regards to Rider's comment which was essentially that the market has done better under this or other Republican presidents.  The opposite is true. 

Please also have a look at GDP growth, Employed People, Jobless Claims and average earnings.  The facts just don't support anything above continuing a trend (at best).

My father used to say “a fool and his money are soon parted”.

But I don’t believe that you have actually done this. It’s just the beer talking.

Convincing figures from Admin.

Because they felt too much pressure over there to punctuate, spell and capitalize correctly?

You are right.  You benefit from a strong stock market.  So do I.  The majority do not.  It is wealth inequality 101.  I can hear Uncle Sanders' voice, "93.3% of all stock is owned by 20% of the people".

from cnbc (not socialist fake news):

"In fact, the vast majority of Americans have under $1,000 saved and half of all Americans have nothing at all put away for retirement.

“Nearly half of families have no retirement account savings at all,” the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) reported, even in savings vehicles such as IRAs and 401(k)s. The median for U.S. families is just $5,000, and the median for families with some savings is $60,000.

And, according to a 2016 GOBankingRates survey, 35 percent of all adults in the U.S. have only several hundred dollars in their savings accounts and 34 percent have zero savings.

Even older workers who can see retirement on the horizon aren’t prepared for it. The median savings for families whose wage earners are between 50 and 55 years old is only $8,000. For those who are between 56 and 61, it’s $17,000, reports the Economic Policy Institute." "

me: "retirement" is sad, scary, uncertain story for most of us hard-working, honest americans----it saddens me that swaths of honest, hard-working americans are in this position

a small number of us have been sufficiently lucky, and can retire safely and comfortably, but for most american's "retirement" is a fraught future and/or a dangerous present--and our demographics say this is just beginning to come home to roost----i worry for our country---i dont want our streets filled with sick, old americans, who were nothing but hardworking and honest all their lives---our economy and wealth is too extensive that that shd be allowed to happen--

i pay a lot of taxes--i dont mind, if i have a sense that my taxes are being invested in things that help our country as a whole--i like my taxes going to things like initiatives to insure that honest hardworking americans can retire safely...............

not to places like trump's hare-brained broken turnberry golf shithole

Hi pdx....It’s good to know you’re there spell checking. Keep up the good work.

Eric Trump tweeted (back in July), "...for any United States Govt business, we charge our COST and do NOT profit from these stays".

Still, a reckless move for DT to not separate himself from his business ...

[eastbound]

Still what??

You actually believe Erik the Dope??

[Bean]

No, but it doesn’t matter what I think. 

In fact, providing services at less than arms length does not necessarily mitigate conflicts of interest. 

[eastbound]

I dont believe erik the dope either--and i think that, if properly investigated, we will find the arrangements to be tawdry and cheesy, all at fullest possible prices, with direct involvement of trump himself---cuz that's the kinda guy trump is................

so far trump turnberry and the airport have been stonewalling and blathering bs--pentagon says it's investigating--seems theyll need to be willing to bare some teeth, given the stonewalling, to get to the bottom of this

can wilbur ross threaten to fire pentagon officials or investigators, in case they actually investigate?

[Bean]

No, only to the extent that their findings are unfavorable

Honestly, my big concern right now is China, the CCP and Huiwei.  I hope we do the right thing, I just wish I knew what the hell that is...
