Briefly, this is a report pre-October when Tru_p’s tariffs were having a bigger impact on the economy than earlier months. Gasoline was up and now it is down in the West. Supposedly a refinery will be closing which initially will have an impact until things smooth out. Income is still skewed to the upper bracket […]
As a former Michigan resident (now residing in another state), I know of Charles rather well having exchanged emails once and a while. I also read his commentary on ACA Signups. He is also a resident of Michigan when we were living there. If I did not have an answer on healthcare, I would go […]
– by New Deal democrat Despite the government shutdown, the FHFA did publish its repeat home sales index this morning. And since the S&P Case Shiller index is from a private entity, that was published as well. Between those two and the NAR’s existing home sales report, we still have pretty good visibility into that 90% […]
r.j. sigmund: There were no updates to Covid data at the CDC again this week. This first article appears to be written in reference to the current infection surge in Germany and elsewhere; we went through that 2 or 3 months ago and are likely on the backside of it now.

– by New Deal democrat As I have done since the beginning of the government shutdown, the number of initial and continuing claims can be calculated notwithstanding, because it is based on reporting by the States, plus DC, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Then by applying the same adjustment as was used for the […]
Angry Bear’s, Joel Eissenberg had this commentary on Facebook and I am pirating it for Angry Bear. With an addition. Tru_p and Republicans are wanting to eliminate certain programs and portions of programs which have an impact on the lower income population. Keep in mind too, Tru_p has put into play significant tax breaks for […]
Some more of Tru_p’s travels. This time to southern Asia to include Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, then Koreas and Japan. He expects to meet Japan’s Sanae Takaichi and has heard great things about her. The one thing about Tru_p? He is prone to making stuff up when he has little to say. Oh, to be a […]
Information like this is hard to come across. It does answer the issues of the impact of undocumented citizens and their impact upon healthcare in the United States. I did search for deeper detail. I am finding Medicaid information to be in withheld. This article is from MedPage. If you do not have access to […]
