As far as the hilbots are concerned the data can't be real nor is the writer being honest. As I read through this article I had no qualms about the honesty and believable research. But as soon as the hrc train got rolling the screams of CT (?) started. Is this possible?

At the recently concluded Centesimus annus conference at the Vatican, leaders from countries around the world were invited to discuss the morality, or lack thereof, in the global economy, which Pope Francis has rightfully labelled as "the globalization of indifference".
Invitations to this conference were selective, made by the Pope himself. Having been schooled on the writings of Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, I found resonance with Francis's address before the conference.
interview of progressives. The state of the dem party from a progressive viewpoint.
My biggest pet peeve is people who get on their moral high horses and act like they are so superior to everyone else. I cut my youngest brother Jerry out of my life when I couldn't put up with his right wing garbage any longer. I was a caregiver to our Mom until she died. I tried to help my PTSD Vietnam Vet brother Mike until drink overcame him and he died. My younger brother Reid is with me and will be for the rest of his life.
Recently Bernie Sanders has been accused of not having a plan for breaking up "Too Big To Fail" financial institutions.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Bernie has a plan. A complete plan. Part of it requires action under the existing Dodd-Frank legislation, the other part is laid out in detail in a pending bill he is sponsoring.
Anything else is a gross distortion.
Juan González: Clinton Has "Really Distorted" What Happened When NY Daily News Interviewed Sanders
Time Magazine Front Covers this ignorant screed from James Grant, noted Inflation Hawk and Gold Bug, that contends that at $42,998.12 per person the United States National Debt is insupportable and a grave threat to our economy.
As everyone should know, the only problem with a National Debt of any amount is not it's sheer magnitude, but the relationship of its size to the National Economy. Not that household metaphors are appropriate (and they really aren't), nobody would think twice about signing a mortgage that represented 3 - 5 years of total income payable in installments over 30 years. How many people do you know that are pulling down $100K annually who don't live in $300K+ houses?
In fact the only negative effect from a debt that is too large is that people (lenders) are less willing to give you loans and charge you more money (interest) to offset the risk that you will default and refuse to pay them back anything at all. A side effect is that higher interest rates can fuel inflation because it raises the cost of capital (which is also measured in interest).
So what do we see?
My mom is a Bernie delegate at the Colorado state convention today. The election day results on March 1st were 58.98% Bernie, 40.31% Hillary. She texted me to say that today's results were 1915 delegates for Bernie and 1129 delegates for Hillary. That's 62% for Bernie! I guess there were a lot a Hillary no-shows who didn't want to drive to Loveland in the spring snowstorm we're having. The delegate allocation to the national convention is 6 for Bernie and 3 for Hillary.
