Apart from that, the worse the economy is in 2021, the better for them in 2022. Imperiled senators and representatives have a bipartisan interest in passing something, anything, that can make them look worth re-electing. McConnell is only interested in bringing up something that his majority caucus can agree on. If there actually is such a bill in the Senate, perhaps the House should pass the same bill but without the payments to every voter and the liability protection. And then see how it dies in conference, lacking the things that Republicans really wanted. But everybody can pretend that they tried. https://www.political-scrapbook.net/2020-offenses.html#trump-party == topic recovery 1 ===== comments 1 impact 50 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2020-10-18 priority 1 ratio 5 react 3 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 2 title The great Republican dealmaker can't make a deal with the topic recovery wordrate 0 words 168 audclicks 2 audreach 2 commentsimpress 1 commentsusers 1 engaged 2 ID 1267711103573406 impress 24 likeclickusers 2 likeuimpress 12 likeuusers 12 matchedlinkclicks 1 matchedotherclicks 1 oimpress 24 oreach 15 posted "10/18/2020 08:27:12 AM" postlinkclicks 1 postotherclicks 1 reach 15 type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1267711103573406 ========== The stock market is finally having a bad day - why might that be? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/03/business/stock-market-shares-covid.html Since the stock market rise was mostly driven by technology stocks, are investors getting nervous about antitrust spoiling the party? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/03/us/politics/google-antitrust-justice-department.html Or is it just because the Fed is having trouble making happy talk? https://apnews.com/abc046be35b12996fe00147013075e7b Why would that be - just because the eviction moratorium will just lead to an even bigger headache when it expires? https://apnews.com/c3dc36aecd29daba2ba2f9d51fb3ba33 Or because United joins American with layoff notices? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-09-02/united-air-to-cut-more-than-16-000-jobs-on-weak-travel-demand And so the airline industry doesn't expect to recover until four years? https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2020/09/03/it-could-be-least-2024-before-us-airline-industry-recovers-pandemic/ But Trump needs recovery within four weeks, so why can't everybody just get on board with that?

It was the bane of the Ford and Carter administrations. Can it come back? A stagnant economy at best seems likely until the virus is tamed. And the extra costs involved in just about every economic activity due to protective actions and higher labor costs are bound to affect consumer prices eventually. Currently, the Russians and Arabs have called a truce on their oil price war and the price of oil is responding, which is already affecting consumer prices and might do more. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/consumer-prices-jump-again-in-july-rebounding-from-pandemic-lows-but-inflation-still-low-2020-08-12 Conventional economic theory holds that you don't have a stagnant economy and rising prices at the same time.

And it was succeeded by euphoric deregulation leading to the S&L meltdown - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savings_and_loan_crisis Youngsters might not know that S&L's used to be as common as banks.

Their economic activity will thus be depressed for several years at best. https://apnews.com/89992979ca3c3ba72eb2cd31a9ca0e5d More California unemployed do not expect to get their old jobs back - https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/08/06/coronavirus-fewer-unemployed-california-workers-expect-old-jobs-back/ Apprenticeships can be part of the solution - https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/08/06/opinion-expanding-apprenticeships-can-fuel-economic-recovery/ It shouldn't be necessary to endure four years of college to get a decent job with a living wage.

From a naked political point of view, the Democrats might as well let the economic crisis get as bad as possible until the election. The Republicans will get the blame since they held the power. Starting in January, if the Democrats have a unified government, then they might pull out all the stops to get the economic recovery moving again. But the Republican survivors will certainly take the opposite tack of trying to make the depression as bad as possible so the Democrats will get the blame in 2022 and 2024. That's the way the Republicans operated under Obama - just say NO. So whatever the Democrats hope to accomplish, they need to do it now before the election while the vulnerable Republican senators are feeling the heat to compromise and do SOMETHING. SOMETHING in addition to Trump priorities like payroll tax cuts, expensing three-martini lunches, and deciding where the new FBI building should go. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/08/05/if-congress-cant-pass-rescue-package-senate-may-fall-democrats/ Think of it as the Republicans' Depression Strategy to match their Southern Strategy. == topic recovery ===== impact 108 impactrate 0 likeimpress 2 negative 0 posted 2020-08-05 ratio 4 react 6 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 3 title Why the Democrats have a stronger hand in recovery. topic recovery wordrate 0 words 180 ID 1206987516312432 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1206987516312432 audclicks 3 audreach 1 engaged 3 impress 32 likeclickusers 3 likeimpress 2 likeuimpress 29 likeusers 2 likeuusers 26 matchedotherclicks 3 oimpress 32 oreach 27 posted "08/05/2020 05:38:49 PM" postotherclicks 1 reach 27 sharesimpress 1 sharesusers 1 type Link ========== Make the most of one-party rule!

You can't go back to a job that doesn't exist any more. You shouldn't go back to a job that isn't healthy. You can't go back to a job if you can't find daycare and schools for your kids. A payroll tax cut doesn't help you if you don't have a job. If you do have a job, a payroll tax cut eventually translates to lower social security or medicare benefits.

However it seems equally plausible that over-leveraged consumers will also become much more careful about consumption vs saving. This might have a deflationary effect on prices to offset the inflationary effect of businesses investing more in various kinds of insurance against future catastrophies - better supply chains, more inventory reserves, more cash reserves. One lesson everybody might absorb is not to expect competent response from the government - the final payoff of Reagan Republicanism. == topic recovery ===== impact 18 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2020-05-28 ratio 5 react 2 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 2 title Post-pandemic prophecies. topic recovery wordrate 0 words 92 ID 1154200601591124 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1154200601591124 audclicks 2 audreach 1 engaged 1 impress 16 likeclickusers 1 likeuimpress 10 likeuusers 9 matchedlinkclicks 1 matchedotherclicks 1 oimpress 16 oreach 10 posted "05/28/2020 06:25:46 PM" postlinkclicks 1 postotherclicks 1 reach 10 type Link ========== Social distancing in crowded casinos?

Hassett sees that credit card usage is increasing, and finds that a positive sign. Where do these guys gets their information on consumers - from Mar-a-Lago members? Stores now accept credit cards for even small purchases, and consumers are eager to use them wherever they can, because EVERYBODY IS AFRAID OF CASH. The greenback dollar is almighty - an almighty risk! That doesn't sound like a sign of confidence. When consumers are stressed, they use up their cash, then debit cards, and finally charge daily living expenses to credit cards until they max out. That could account for a lot of increased credit card usage. That doesn't sound like a sign of confidence. But just listening to Trump would make anybody feel more confident! So the government doesn't need to do anything more to boost consumer confidence In any event, Trump IS making Democratic politicians feel more confident. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/05/19/white-house-coronavirus-economic-recovery/ Last time the Republicans did this in 1932, they got 20 years of Democratic rule. Some of them are getting nervous, but most won't admit it. They want to talk about deficit spending, in a depression when deficit spending makes sense. They should have been talking about it in 2017 when they were planning their billionaire tax cut, when deficit spending made no sense. http://www.one-flat-tax.net/ But Republican senators don't have to make sense. As long as they do what their donors want, they'll get the money they need to buy re-election. Thus the question is not really "will Republican senators abandon Trump" but "will major Republican donors abandon Trump". Will they decide that a different Republican, or even Biden, is a small price to pay for four years in order to keep a Republican senate majority? They don't have much time to contemplate that question before it will be too late to make a difference. == topic recovery 1 ===== comments 2 impact 1496 impactrate 0 likeimpress 19 negative 0 posted 2020-05-19 priority 1 ratio 1 react 43 reactrate 0 shares 2 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 20 title No more Federal unemployment benefits! topic recovery wordrate 0 words 348 ID 1147437508934100 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1147437508934100 audclicks 20 audreach 11 commentsimpress 2 commentsusers 2 engaged 24 impress 97 likeclickusers 19 likeimpress 19 likeuimpress 65 likeusers 18 likeuusers 60 matchedlinkclicks 3 matchedotherclicks 17 oimpress 97 oreach 83 posted "05/19/2020 03:37:40 PM" postlinkclicks 3 postotherclicks 9 reach 83 sharesimpress 2 sharesusers 2 type Link ========== Thinking about what happens after this pandemic If we don't think about it, we'll get something unthinkable. https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/05/15/opinion-we-need-to-start-talking-now-about-a-post-pandemic-vision/ == topic recovery ===== comments 1 hide 1 impact 22 impactrate 0 likeimpress 2 negative 1 posted 2020-05-18 ratio 2 react 11 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 6 title Thinking about what happens after this pandemic topic recovery wordrate 0 words 20 ID 1146762832334901 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1146762832334901 audclicks 6 audreach 4 commentsimpress 1 commentsusers 1 engaged 5 hideclicks 1 hideclicksusers 1 impress 33 likeclickusers 5 likeimpress 2 likeuimpress 29 likeusers 2 likeuusers 26 matchedlinkclicks 1 matchedotherclicks 5 negclicks 1 negusers 1 oimpress 33 oreach 27 posted "05/18/2020 08:27:12 PM" postlinkclicks 1 postotherclicks 4 reach 27 sharesimpress 1 sharesusers 1 type Link ========== What happens to unwanted hogs is bad.

Jobs came back after the Great Depression too - not necessarily the same jobs - and too late to save Herbert Hoover, whose career as an elected official was over no matter what he had or hadn't done. He was not free of blame, having signed off on Smoot-Hawley knowing it was the wrong answer. https://www.theweek.com/speedreads/913354/trump-reassures-lost-jobs-back-soon-experts-say-could-take-decade And while the jobs came back eventually, it wasn't the same. America was different between 1859 and 1866, 1916 and 1919, 1940 and 1946, 2000 and 2002. The old normal was gone for good. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/05/08/jobs-coronavirus-unemployment-economy-politics/ == Besides a possible second wave of the virus, there is a possible second wave of recession, as factories ramp up production - of goods that nobody wants to buy. Consumer confidence, once shaken by layoffs and foreclosures, even if they happened to other people, takes a long time to rebuild - consumers who do have income start to think in terms of saving for the next crisis rather than spending. And if consumer spending is depressed, then advertising on social media is worth less, and the business model of Google and Facebook is worth less - and all the commercial real estate development in Silicon Valley is worth less - and all the residential real is worth less. Businesses that were over-leveraged before the virus can still borrow cheap money but only if they can convince lenders that they can pay it back. http://www.political-scrapbook.net/theory.html#cycle None of this is inevitable - other countries like Germany are recovering without massive unemployment - but as long as we are stuck trying to recover from trickle-down economics thinking, it will be a long road. And not one that the next Democratic president will necessarily enjoy traveling. Republicans are already planning their return to minority status - https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/05/11/republicans-have-already-decided-trump-is-going-lose/ It took a long time to undo the Obama expansion, and it may take a long time to undo the Trump contraction.

In first aid class, one learns that even if one is able to remember CPR techniques and apply them successfully - the revived victim is not going to jump up, shake hands gratefully, and go on about his business. Instead he will be in the hospital, quite likely in intensive care for a while, while the immediate damage and underlying conditions are treated. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/28/business/china-coronavirus-economy.html Similarly the cardiac arrest of consumer confidence won't disappear overnight without a trace. Months of isolation change how people think - about what's important in their lives and about how they spend - and save - their money. In this case the underlying condition is the reliance of individuals and businesses on living paycheck-to-paycheck and on cheap debt. They can't be quickly and cheaply bribed back into their previous economic behaviors in time for an election.

Originally, in an era when it took several days for the newly-elected president to ride his horse from his home to the capital to be inaugurated, the states retained most of the power because they were closer to their people and problems than the distant Federal government. Now in a world tightly and globally connected, the Federal government and even international institutions are in a much better position than 50 state and several territorial governors, when it comes to knowing what's going on and how to deal with it. But many aspects of the modern world frighten old people, who'd like to somehow retain the global benefits but go back to old local ways of dealing with problems. It's worst when the old man at the top is afraid to take responsibility for decisions and the inevitable mistakes.

The truly irresponsible behavior was enacting a billionaire tax cut at the height of the economic expansion. More money for people who didn't need it at a time when they didn't need it. NOW the Republicans are complaining about deficits, in a time of economic recession when deficits are actually useful - for getting money to the people who need it, when they need it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/republicans-trump-coronavirus-spending-deficit-economy/2020/04/25/9013c5ee-8671-11ea-a3eb-e9fc93160703_story.html The forebears of these Republicans were appalled by FDR's spending during the Great Depression, and his radical ideas like Social Security. Some of the ideas didn't work, but FDR was trying different things instead of lamenting the obstruction of the opposition. FDR convinced the voters that he was concerned about their problems and trying to do something about it. And they trusted him in the next crisis of world war. Any politician who finds the uncertainty about economic recovery painful should be leading on something helpful. No recovery without accurate information about how widespread the virus is. That requires widespread testing. That requires much greater supply of testing materials, test personnel, lab facilities, personal protective equipment. Next is accurate information about who's spreading the virus and how. That requires an army of contact tracers. == topic recovery 1 ===== comments 1 impact 187 impactrate 0 likeimpress 5 negative 0 posted 2020-04-24 priority 1 ratio 5 react 8 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 1 title Let the states go bankrupt! topic recovery wordrate 0 words 234 ID 1128332074177977 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1128332074177977 audclicks 1 audreach 1 commentsimpress 1 commentsusers 1 engaged 7 impress 52 likeclickusers 7 likeimpress 5 likeuimpress 46 likeusers 5 likeuusers 42 matchedotherclicks 1 oimpress 52 oreach 43 posted "04/24/2020 03:47:17 PM" postotherclicks 1 reach 43 sharesimpress 1 sharesusers 1 type Link ========== No postal service means no mail-in ballots means no election!
