For economic growth, vote Republican says Harvard Business School,

From Forbes magazine 20 hours ago: English: Official photo cropped of United States Senator and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) (Photo credit: Wikipedia) What do you do when the Congressional Research Service, the completely non-partisan arm of the Library of Congress that has been advising Congress—and only Congress—on matters of policy and law for nearly a century, produces a research study that finds absolutely no correlation between the top ta ...

Income Inequality May Take Toll on Growth By ANNIE LOWREY WASHINGTON — Income inequality has soared to the highest levels since the Great Depression, and the recession has done little to reverse the trend, with the top 1 percent of earners taking 93 percent of the income gains in the first full year of the recovery. The yawning gap between the haves and the have-nots — and the political questions that gap has raised about the plight of the middle ...

The greedy rich, looking for ever lower taxes, convinced people their lower incomes arose, not from their pickpocket legislation, but from deficit spending. And their victims actually bought it and obligingly held their pockets open.But they still have their own agenda, and even as they become poorer and poorer, these new True Believer deficit hawks are turning on everyone, even themselves. Today, House SCs voted down the Greedies' farm bill so many pubs depend on for jobs, not amend it. E ...

I was looking at a book written by the mother of a tiny boy shot in the forehead at Sandy Hook. The mother said after reading the horrible names Truthers called her, words I don't use, "Once you've had a child shot in the forehead, nothing much ruffles your feathers." Look at the Amazon book and then the one-star reviews. Her book is Nurturing Healing Love: A Mother's Journey of Hope & Foregiveness. Nurturing Healing Love: A Mother's Journey of Hope & Forgiv ...

They really want to go home tomorrow so they're doing in one day what they should have been doing in 6 years, working and voting on important bills instead of complaining about the other side by the Majority Leader and blocking every bill that was sent over by the House. :)Wonder what they'll do with the Doc Fix bill. ...

This article is a short form of a fantastic book by psychologist Jonathan Haidt.

"What’s now clear is that the Obama administration policies have outperformed the Reagan administration policies for job creation and unemployment reduction. Even though Reagan had the benefit of a growing Boomer class to ignite economic growth, while Obama has been forced to deal with a retiring workforce developing special needs. During the eight years preceding Obama there was a net reduction in jobs in America. We now are rapidly moving toward higher, sustainable jobs growth." ...

I would love to see Republicans start "caring" about women, Hispanics and gays, but how are they going to get that across while voting against these groups? For example, how can the Republican party possibly get more gay votes when they continually shoot down gay marriage? From the project: The Republican Party needs to stop talking to itself. We have become expert in how to provide ideological reinforcement to like-minded people, but devastatingly we have lost the abilit ...

We know, for example, that in 2014 – the first full year of ACA implementation – the job market in the United States had its best year since the late 1990s. Indeed, hiring in 2014 was so strong, it surpassed literally any single year in either Bush presidency, and even many of the years in the Clinton era. Postscript: I’d be remiss if I neglected to note that new jobs are being created in the health-care industry at an extraordinary pace. The industry added more ...

in history who did not deliver a single year of 3.0%+ economic growth. In February 2011 (Fake News) Time Magazine Implied that Obama was like Reagan. This couldn’t have been further from the truth, especially when considering economic growth. Ronald Reagan brought forth an annual real GDP growth of 3.5%. Barack Obama will be lucky to average an annual 1.50% GDP growth rate during his two terms in office. The rate of real economic growth is the single greatest determinate of both America� ...

That’s an average of $9,990 per person, although the vast share of that money is spent caring for the sickest patients.... ...

deportation warnings in dorms to frighten students. Two minority student groups at Harvard have been forced to apologize after they put up fake deportation warnings in dorm rooms to frighten students.

"We regret to inform you that a resident of this dorm has been detained indefinitely due to suspicious actions, suspected vio ...

NEW YORK (Reuters) U.S. shoppers spent 6.4 percent more this Black Friday weekend than last year and hit department stores and clothing shops, rather than focusing on discounters as they had done in recent years. Retail stocks have rallied in recent months as national chains have reported month after month of improving same-store sales as the economy has stabilized and they have paid down credit card debt. On Friday, the S&P Retail Index was hovering near a 52-week high, after rising 30 p ...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Pending home sales unexpectedly surged in October, hinting the economic recovery has legs. Also, the four-week moving average for jobless claims fell to a fresh two-year low, though new claims were higher for the week. "Fear is evaporating ever so slightly. The economy is not falling off a cliff, giving investors a glimmer of hope," said Kim Caughey Forrest, senior equity research analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group in Pittsburgh. ...

that whoever you are, you have the same chance as anyone else to rise, with pluck, industry, and talent. But they imagine wrong. The U.S. today lags behind many of its First World rivals in terms of mobility.

It makes no difference in terms of the economic impact on wages whether an employer exports the work to where the cheap labor is located, or takes advantage of cheap labor that comes to where the work is located. The only difference is that one means used to drive wages lower and keep them low is legal, while the other means is not. Think about it. Just about everyone on this forum hates what offshoring has done to OUR wages, and yet some support illegal and/or unrestricted immigra ...

Excerpt of statement from the NY Times Editorial Board, link to entire statement below. "Early this year, it was widely acknowledged that the economy was in for a tough patch. The “fiscal cliff” showdown at the end of 2012 had led to higher payroll taxes and had locked in earlier cuts to jobless benefits, while “the sequester” — deep and arbitrary federal spending cuts enacted to end a previous debt standoff — kicked in on March 1. The only consolation at the ...

is running into much the same intractable head-butting instead of sensible solutions here as the rest of the country. “I’ve been in politics for 30 years, and I saw firsthand after I was elected the split within the Democratic Party,” said Eric Johnson, who was in the Georgia legislature for 15 years. “Now you’ve got the rural conservative Republicans and the suburban moderates and libertarians. I don’t think you have as broad an ideological split as the ...

median income would soar by more than $22,000. Nearly 26 million jobs would be created. The unemployment rate would fall to 3.8%. Those are just a few of the things that would happen if Bernie Sanders became president and his ambitious economic program were put into effect, according to an analysis given exclusively to CNNMoney. The first comprehensive look at the impact of all of Sanders’ spending and tax proposals on the economy was done by Gerald Friedman, a University of Mas ...
