Day After Holiday Open Thread
Refinancing is dead: a generation of Hard Times will continue until secularly real wages improve
New Deal Democrat writing from The Bonddad Blog On Monday I gave what I think is a reasonable roadmap to the next recession. I want to follow up on this a little. The post from nearly 10 years ago was entitled, Are Hard Times Near? The great decline in interest rates is ending.” The theory […]
Why did the Clinton campaign say earlier this month that Trump’s statement that he plans to partially default on the national debt could work? (And, yes, that, as the NYT mentions today, is what the Clinton campaign said.)
Debates have broken out in Mrs. Clinton’s Brooklyn headquarters over the best approach to take. Some advisers worry that by running against Mr. Trump as she would a traditional Republican candidate, Mrs. Clinton is actually making the reality television star appear more legitimate. This month, when Mr. Trump suggested he would reduce the national debt […]
Does One Chair Lifted Over One’s Head Make a Riot???
This certainly isn’t the 1968 Dem Convention in Chicago; but, there were a lot of angry people in Nevada. “What I see is that the only thing holding those assh-les back, were the security people and the fence in front of them. That one man did indeed pick up a chair and raise it in […]

In physics, chemistry and biology self-organization occurs in open systems driven away from thermal equilibrium. The […]
You DID hear it here first. I picked Becerra for VP 15 months ago.
Clinton-Becerra 2016 Back then and even now it was and is ‘Xavier Who?’ But equally nobody thought Trump would even be running, still less making his campaign largely center on the Yuuuge Wall. And a lot of progressives are little leery of Julian Castro based on his mixed record as HUD Secretary. I think Congressman […]

Asshole Drivers are Assholes, which Dr. Black Used to Know
I got hit while parking today. Driver in front of me, parked with no lights or flashers, backed her van up into my car because she wasn’t actually parking, just dropping one of her kids off at school. For a moment, I’m all, like, WTF? She immediately gets out of the van, comes back, apologizes, […]
Another day, another indication that the Clinton campaign remains dangerously clueless about what will matter most in the general election. Ho-hum.
Clinton’s aides say they have settled on the big story they want to tell about Trump: He is a business fraud who has cheated working people for his own gain, and his ideas, temperament and moves to marginalize people by race, gender and creed make him simply unacceptable as commander in chief. — Clinton thinks […]
