GG Posted February 13, 2018 Author Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) Thought this was an interesting chart, and will give our progressives one guess which items have the greatest hand of government in fixing prices? Now tell me again how socialism works for the benefit of the common man? I haven't done a full accounting on the numbers (and knowing Ritholz's bias), but directionally they are correct. http://ritholtz.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/pricechanges.png.

Deranged Rhino Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Quote Yesterday President Trump invited the media to keep their cameras on during a round-table discussion on trade. He did this for a reason. President Trump wanted the American voters to watch Republican politicians demand that he stop trying to bring manufacturing jobs to the United States. In essence, Trump doing what Trump does best, played the role of Toto and pulled back the curtain on the Republican anti-American corporate business agenda. The republicans in attendance never paused to reflect upon the sunlight or the reason for their specific invitations. They are comfortable back-room deals and POTUS Toto relaxed them perfectly.

Legend: China & Technology are blue Motherment is red Hahaha...funny stuff. The difference is the things that can be outsourced and manufactured in China vs what can't. The one exception is the monopolistic textbook market. I stopped requiring new books about 10 years ago and have students buy used copies from Amazon for $10... 1

That you can fill out a piece of paper? Suggesting you're not a liberal because you're a registered independent is like suggesting you never go to a grocery store because you have a Costco membership. Maybe tomorrow you can tell us how much of a man you are because you slept with three different women last week. Edited February 14, 2018 by LABillzFan
