– by New Deal democrat A truncated version of the CPI was reported for November this morning. Since no data was collected for October, the monthly change in those values was not calculated, the Census Bureau apparently having elected not to publish with the cumulative two month changes since September. Nevertheless, the two month numbers are […]
Economist Paul Krugman has a new series at his site. I will post each at Angry Bear about two weeks after he posts. Hopefully, I do not want to interfere with the publicity he will generate with his posting. I think I can get away with that timing without causing issues. I subscribe to his […]
Just pulling together a couple of different source reports which briefly and pretty much say similar. We are still not sure which way the economy is going. In reality, the outcome is more likely than not is in the hands of Trump and his knee-jerk reactions. We are at a pivotal point. Surveys of Consumers, […]
I did not vote for Trump for president either time. There was just so much wrong with him as a human being. His idea of superiority is skewed heavily to himself . . . He is not. Typically, if you have to keep claiming such over and over again, there is an issue of inferiority. […]
I have to think about the speech and what I heard and saw tonight.

A Republican led House of Representative could not come to an agreement on the continuation of subsidized ACA healthcare for their constituents. I would think they should stay in conference over the holiday until they do reach some type of agreement. There is no energy in them to inconvenience themselves for constituents. WASHINGTON — It […]
Robert Reich in his latest commentary (“Why Americans are going batsh*t over the cost of living”) details what is going on today in the economy with Trump’s involvement. Overall? Not good . . . The Bureau of Labor Statistics (which can still be trusted!) reports today that just 64,000 jobs were added to the economy […]
– by New Deal democrat At Last this morning we got some up to date labor data from the federal government, but only partially. The Establishment Survey was updated for both October and November, while the Household Survey was not conducted at all for October, and so jumps from September to November. In November virtually all […]
Taking this from Health Affairs which addresses the solutions and the issues. It is too long to post at Angry Bear. I am providing a link above. “No Clear Front-Runner to Extend ACA Healthcare Subsidies.” Some details. Plans When It Can Happen Satisfying the Fears of Ineligibles Receiving Healthcare Who Goes First and Saving Citizens […]
