An economics, investment, trading and policy blog with a focus on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). We seek the truth, avoid the mainstream and are virulently anti-neoliberalism.
I'll be posting up a video on Trump in a little while, but let me say that I listened to Trump's speech and there were a few things that I liked. He wants to keep Social Security. He wants to get rid of Obamacare and expand Medicare and Medicaid for all. That is something that I proposed long ago. He wants to rebuild infrastructure. Sorely needed. And he wants to take care of our veterans.
All good ideas. Plus, he's not going in for all that politically correct bullshit.
On the other hand he's got the monetary stuff all wrong. "We're out of money. We gotta bring our money back. China's beating us," etc.
That's bad.
But like I said I'll be posting a video soon. Stay tuned.
Donald Trump announced his presidential bid yesterday and criticized the influence of lobbyists in Washington. Specifically, he said politicians are “controlled fully — they’re controlled fully by the lobbyists, by the donors, and by the special interests, fully.” — Bill Moyers & Co.
Looks like The Donald is running as populist. Who knew.

Who knew The Donald was a closet Democrat, sort of.

Was a good speech, I thought.
Is it believable though? I doubt that anyone doubts Bernie's sincerity after a lifetime record. The Donald?
