Aren't Democrats usually pretty good at prolonging bubbles, though? Just keep accumulating government debt and expand the public sector.

I agree there could be a bubble but it isn't because of inflation which has been scare quoted forever on here and the QE has prevented the us from looking more like Europe.

As for the national debt?  Lol.  Good grief, social security is solvent, there is no emergency, our debt to GDP ratio is fine.  Carry on.

She has the most net neutral plan, but the tax code is going to get confusing to make the math work.  She's going to use credits and the like to ease the middle class instead of just simplifying the code based on rates.

I mean, whatever, it's fine.  I may ultimately just need to hire an accountant instead of doing them myself.

I think that there is a lot of money globally looking for a good, safe return and we are entering a low growth period as more and more emerging markets mature.  low interest rates on 10 year T bonds mean more money than ever is being stashed in securities and real estate.

re. bubble, like the guy with the noble prize says, no one can even define a bubble.  re. qe - everyone (2-3 years ago even more everyone) loves to blame qe, but there's no real evidence that qe has caused asset price inflation.  it is becoming more clear that for the past 5 years, growth was low and there were global deflationary pressures which were more than adequate to explain the low interest rates.  it is much harder to predict if the next 5, 10, and 25 years will see the same environment, but if most investors expect that it will, then asset prices are pretty rational.

if asset prices fall in the next four years, it will probably be because the consensus about the direction of growth/interest rates changes.  will that have made the current situation a bubble?  like the guy says, there's no way to say.

No, the problem is that the market for assets right now could be a bubble because everyone is interdependent upon steady returns being above the interest rates being offered by safe, stable, western bond markets which are locked in a low growth holding pattern.

I'm not sure if the growth/consumption we can count on from emerging economies as consumption in the major economies peaks will be enough to sustain the growth model these securities prices are projecting.

I'm sad that suburban white women would use the privileged afforded to them by the suffering of many women before them to vote for someone who hates them.
I'm sad that the third party voters thought it was more important to make a statement than to protect their fellow Americans from policies that could take away their rights and dignity as human beings.
I'm sad that my lesbian friend is afraid she won't have the chance to marry her girlfriend. I'm sad that my transgender friend is fearful that future legislation will not protect them.
I'm sad that there is the possibility that American women in the future will have to consider unsafe illegal abortions.

You can't have a overblown fear; fear is in the eye of the beholder. Some people have a warped sense of what the fallout of what the next four years will be but its understandable because they're scared. Trump's rhetoric did this as he needs to fix it. I didn't vote for Hillary but people didn't fear that their rights would be infringed upon during a Hillary Clinton presidency.

Shut up with the fear mongering Trump is a racist, sexist, whatever else bullshit you whiny rough ridin' libtard idiots. That's a one-size fits all Republicans costume your masters conjured up to scare you into supporting their substanceless party. 

Identity politics are dead. Good riddance. It was divisive bullshit that fueled trumps crap stomping of a racist, homophobic, bigoted, well-documented liar, cheater and crook. The hypocrisy you clowns are exhibiting is off the charts absurd.

Many probably don't think of themselves that way or even act that way in general everyday life, but if you want a racist, bigot, misogynist, homophobe to be president then you are at least a little bit racist, bigoted, misogynist or homophobic.

Trump needed more than just out right white male racists to win. He also needed people who were too stupid or short sighted or disengaged to understand what electing this type of man means for themselves or other Americans.

Honestly, the most troubling part is not what Trump's policies will be (although that's a concern) but the fact that there exist so many people in this country that support his views.

I'm sad.
I'm sad that there are so many racist, misogynist, homophobes that Trump could get this many votes. I thought we were moving past that.
I'm sad that suburban white women would use the privileged afforded to them by the suffering of many women before them to vote for someone who hates them.
I'm sad that the third party voters thought it was more important to make a statement than to protect their fellow Americans from policies that could take away their rights and dignity as human beings.
I'm sad that my lesbian friend is afraid she won't have the chance to marry her girlfriend. I'm sad that my transgender friend is fearful that future legislation will not protect them.
I'm sad that there is the possibility that American women in the future will have to consider unsafe illegal abortions.

I'm sad that many of those assholes are my own family members.
I'm really sad that my dad would have been the only family member I could have commiserated with and I can't call him.  :cry:

Hi MrsG, couple things...
1. I'm really sorry you can't talk to your dad about this. My political discussion with my dad are one of the things I cherish most, so I'm really sorry you've lost that. But I bet if you really think and pray on it, he can still speak to you.
2. Check out my silver linings post - there really are some. http://goEMAW.com/forum/index.php?topic=38336.0 (http://goEMAW.com/forum/index.php?topic=38336.0)
3. Things seem bad now, but they're really not as bad as you depict. Your gay friend has nothing to fear. Abortion rights will remain largely untouched. And while I know you can't see it now, those people you are calling racists, misogynists (all of whom have mothers, sisters, daughters, etc.), and homophobes had very legitimate reasons to vote against Hillary Clinton, and even for Donald Trump.

Trump's supporters aren't necessarily all racist misogynist homophobes, but they definitely supported one.

I supposed I can understand that feeling. I think the fears are a bit over-blown though. Everyone probably just needs to relax a bit...  If anyone really needs to be blamed here it's Joe Biden.
What specific fears are overblown?

You can't have a overblown fear; fear is in the eye of the beholder. Some people have a warped sense of what the fallout of what the next four years will be but its understandable because they're scared. Trump's rhetoric did this as he needs to fix it. I didn't vote for Hillary but people didn't fear that their rights would be infringed upon during a Hillary Clinton presidency.

Really?  Maybe fear is a strong word, there was certainly some concern there.

Enlighten me as to what rights could be perceived as under siege because of the words of Hillary Clinton. To save time and bullshit don't even say a word about the second amendment because she has never threatened to repeal that, let's not carry the water for the NRA.

She has proposed policy that would violate the 2nd amendment, such as preventing people on a no-fly list for example from being able to purchase a firearm.  I actually think Trump may have gone that way too, late. 

And rusty nailed the privacy concern.  I don't think Trump will be worse than Hillary would have been.  I could be wrong though.  Tough to say without seeing a cabinet first.

That doesn't violate the second amendment, jfc.

I think that in at least some instances it does. It sort of depends on how you ended up on the no fly list. It's awkward to me to deny the rights of somebody who hasn't even had a trial or been convicted of anything.

Denied, he's a piece of crap. Remember the shitty relationship Dick Cheney had with the rest of the administration, the public, and the press? Pence will be that x10. eff Mike Pence, I hope someone stabs him with an AIDS needle.

Quote
In 1996, Pence wrote a column (dug up by Ari Rabin-Havt) for the Indiana Policy Review, the magazine of a think tank (by the same name) Pence once ran. In it, Pence lamented the Republican Party’s ‘96 convention and its softer approach, by comparison,  toward minorities. Pence pined for the days of the infamous ‘92 “culture war” convention, where virulent homophobe and nativist Pat Buchanan delivered a fire and brimstone jeremiad in prime time that sent a jolt through the electorate and, some believe, helped sink George H.W. Bush’s re-election that year.

Pence lamented that the ‘96 convention supposedly spotlighted “an endless line of pro-choice women, AIDS activists and proponents of affirmative action” — not-so-subtle code for feminists, gays and blacks — which was textbook hyperbole, since there was hardly an “endless line” of such people. Mary Fischer, for example, a Republican woman with AIDS, was the first and only AIDS activist to speak that year at the Republican National Convention. But that was clearly one too many for Pence

Quote
He also said, “Congress should oppose any effort to recognize homosexuals as a ‘discreet and insular minority’ entitled to the protection of anti-discrimination laws similar to those extended to women and ethnic minorities.”

eff Mike Pence, if its announced tomorrow that he has a massive heart attack or a terminal illness, I'll throw a huge kegger.

A bunch of Trump supporters are racists, bigots, misogynists, and/or homophobes. Many probably don't think of themselves that way or even act that way in general everyday life, but if you want a racist, bigot, misogynist, homophobe to be president then you are at least a little bit racist, bigoted, misogynist or homophobic.

Trump needed more than just out right white male racists to win. He also needed people who were too stupid or short sighted or disengaged to understand what electing this type of man means for themselves or other Americans.

Honestly, the most troubling part is not what Trump's policies will be (although that's a concern) but the fact that there exist so many people in this country that support his views.

Sure.  Trump was a brute and a bully throughout his campaign.  It's troubling that that sort of behavior worked to get him elected.

That's said, I don't necessarily think his being elected as a result of that behavior is some American existential crisis.  I imagine plenty of people (most?) voted for him in spite of his antics and rhetoric, not because of them.

That's said, I don't necessarily think his being elected as a result of that behavior is some American existential crisis.  I imagine plenty of people (most?) voted for him in spite of his antics and rhetoric, not because of them.

You don't think it could be a shock to the system to some people that 50,000,000 in this country thought it was okay to rationalize voting for someone who behaves like he does? He is now the leader of the free world and he just a few months ago stood on a stage and mocked a guy with cerebral palsy. I think it is shocking to some because people, mostly privileged, think the number of people willing to swallow his behavior and allow him to be the most powerful person in the world would be a small fraction of 50,000,000. I think trump is full of crap so I think he will pretty much do what the Republican establishment wants him to do, but I completely understand some people being upset about this many people willing to be okay with Trump's behavior. I consider myself woke so this isn't that surprising to me.

If a super stud like Stan Van Gundy says he's never been ashamed of America before now, then that's good enough for me to know that there's a pretty good difference between Trump and any other candidate in recent history.

It's shocking that such a large amount of people were unaware that roughly half of the population of their country disagreed with them on many political and social issues.

I am surprised that I was surprised. Again, though, it's not so much about the "issues" as it is about tacit acceptance or endorsement of people being shitty to each other. I had no idea that people are so okay with that.

You realize obama was extremely and exuberently shitty to about half the country, right? Far worse than any other president ever.  In 6 years he have all 3 branches of government to the pubs he was so shitty.

That's the Obama Paradox. He's going to leave office with an approval rating over 50%, but his policies and politics have decimated the Democrat Party.

I guess so, but you'd have to be pretty ignorant not to realize, until yesterday, that a large segment of the US population supports trump and DGAF about (or supports) trump's personal behavior.  He pretty much dominated the GOP primary, after all.

Would everyone be as shocked if Trump narrowly lost those battleground states that he won?

I feel like a lot of the people that are shocked/saddened/disturbed that 50% of the country voted for Trump are failing to realize what a terrible candidate hillary was.  I mean, millions of people who voted for Obama twice either refused to vote for hillary or voted for Trump.  When both presidential candidates are piles of garbage, you are going to have a pile of garbage in the white house.

It's not that easy to dominate a field of 16, or whatever it was, but he did win 36 states and second place in 9. That's pretty alpha.
