Legal theft -

another good reason not to put your faith in
defined-benefit pensions.

can see why.     But in government -

A worldwide market crash seeming at first to be coming

but mostly coming out of the Trump administration.

Meanwhile, Bannon is trying to found an educational
institution to export uneducated populist terrorist
economics  all around the world.       Maybe they'll be
able to get a donation from Putin by offering to rename
the main lecture hall for him.

Trumpist task force recommends punishing rural Trumpist
voters

 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/18/opinion/trump-postal-service.html

Trump likes to brag about how many counties he won.
Republicans always win the county count, because most
counties are rural and most farmers and ranchers vote
Republican.       As vital as they were in 1787 or even
1865, rural voters are a pretty small slice of the total
electoral pie now.       But they all depend in various
ways on postal service subsidized by wealthier, more
densely-populated urban areas.       But if the postal
privatization advocates have their way...  to put it
succinctly, profitable private outfits like UPS and Fedex
will not deliver anything anywhere in the country for fifty
cents, nor will they subsidize staffing small low-volume
rural offices.    Privatizing the postal service would be
profitable for somebody though - another example of the
Trumpist philosophy "Billionaires First."

Dropping Obamacare to save money

 https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-obamacare-penalty-health-plans-20181203-story.html

It's good for you if nothing bad happens - but tough luck
if it does.       But it's also bad for everybody else
on Obamacare - if healthy people decline to participate,
costs go up for the remaining participants.

If health insurance is going to be affordable for people
with expensive pre-existing conditions - then it has to be
paid for somehow.      Requiring everybody to participate -
or pay a penalty - was one way.      Now another way will
have to be found.

Trump likes a strong dollar and trade surpluses

Unfortunately, nobody can have both.    Budget deficits
strengthen the dollar, which makes exports less
competitive, which increases trade deficits.

exports. China, corporate debt -

three possible causes of the next recession.

More on debt -

 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/26/opinion/corporate-debt-bubble-att-ge.html

But maybe there won't be a specific identifiable cause.
Investors might collectively run out of optimism, and the
markets will run out of buyers.

Time to do something for the forgotten Americans

Let's remember the good things about Theodore Roosevelt.
Don't expect any help from the Trump administration.

Arithmetic is for small minds

Breaking the norms of addition and subtraction!

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-demands-action-to-reduce-deficit-and-pushes-new-deficit-spending/2018/11/25/86bdf120-d88c-11e8-9559-712cbf726d1c_story.html

Letting the printing presses run is a popular populist
prescription.   Look how well it worked in Venezuela!

A recession is coming in its own good time

While there are objective reasons to expect it sooner
rather than later -

The trouble in Venezuela -

Trump is right when he says that Venezuela's populist
socialist government has ruined the economy.      It's to
be expected -

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macroeconomic_populism

But he's slightly wrong.       The problem is POPULIST
socialism, not populist SOCIALISM.   There are plenty
of well-managed stable socialist economies - places like
Norway that Trump likes.

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_model

But populism seems to inevitably lead to printing money
and economic collapse.       Now who was it thought the
Fed should not increase interest rates to keep inflation
under control?

Demand-side economics

Or middle-out economics.     It's time for a theory
that works.     And a name that voters can relate to.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/02/opinion/sunday/the-democrats-next-job-bury-supply-side-economics.html

We know that "supply-side" means
"trickle-down" means billionaire tax cuts and
ACA repeal.      It was not a new idea to William Jennings
Bryan -

"There are two ideas of government.  There are those
who believe that, if you will only legislate to make the
well-to-do prosperous, their prosperity will leak through
on those below.  The Democratic idea, however, has  been
that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous, their
prosperity will find its way up through every class which
rests upon them.  ...  You shall not press down upon the
brow of labor this crown of thorns; you shall not crucify
mankind upon a cross of gold."

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_Gold_speech

So why DO some people still think that an anonymous Wall
Street bureaucrat will make more beneficial decisions for
them than an anonymous Washington DC bureaucrat?
