DOW goes for 13th straight record close...hasn't been done since 1897!

"Time for America to stop being the whipping boy of other nations who use big government to harm America, including and especially Canada."

Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft, how many military bases? In how many countries? Some of you folks are seriously detached from reality. We've adopted the N Korean approach; throw all your resources into the military and a small group of ruling elites, starve out your soceital/social fabric, and lock down the people.

All of these military bases are for whose benefit? You act as if America is attacking every nation on earth. They are there to defend allies and keep the peace, while so many countries don't even pay their NATO dues!

A particular PM; I won't say who, recently was over in Germany and said that paying less than 1% of GDP to NATO defense was acceptable, because we do other things to help....right.

If it is climate change, oh Lord, we better push hard and harder to meet that goal even if it bankrupts citizens. Check out Ontario and hydro costs to see what's up, 20% of citizens there are 3 months or more behind their heating bill...nice eh? We are paying a "global adjustment fee", lol. $315B of debt for 13M people and this s the end result.

We do it for our own benefit; or rather that of US corporate interests. We are still engaged in economic colonialism.

I'm trying to find the link for it, was reported on CNN (since Canada blocks Fox News from us, but gives us state run covert agent lead CBC).

God Bless America! Trump is getting it done, and he's just getting started!

Good to know that right wing idiots ALSO exist up north.

Hey, want to trade health care plans with any of us in the states?

Why the need to use offensive names against facts? Furthermore, I align more with Libertarianism than anything, but with a heavy dose of realism. You can't view the world or govern in strict ideology, you have to address problems of the day accordingly.

I would trade health care plans in a heartbeat, assuming we can trade capitalism for socialism in a broader sense, see how you enjoy THAT system. I would have a million in the bank by now. I've been to the walk in clinic 2-3 times over the last 10 years and don't have a family doctor. I'm in my early 40's, feel like I'm 25, hit the gym a couple of times a week.

Socialism doesn't work. It's an excuse for debt on the back of the masses in exchange for big government, cronyism and nepotism. America was headed down that path, Trump and the GOP have a mandate to stop this direction before it's too late. For some it clearly is too late. They've drank the punch that has convinced them entitlements and "free" is a replacement for hard work, talent and innovation.

Paul Krugman: The Economic Fallout

Paul Krugman's first pass answer while futures dropped 700 points within hours was wrong - OH NO!

Krugman is always wrong on everything.

Stop pulling shit out of your ass. It is unbecoming.

Notably in 2002 he predicted that Real Estate bubble could displace Dotcom bubble.

Dubya's Double Dip?


He also was found to have a remarkably good record compared to other pundit prognosticators in this study:

Claim: Krugman is top prognosticator; Cal Thomas is the worst

You should seriously consider a relocation to one of our states (Alabama or Mississippi, perhaps?) and see how well you'd fare....

BTW, to "credit" Trump for the Wall Street DOW rise is as moronic as to state that because of Trump this morning sun rose in the east.

What did we get from Hussein in his first couple of months, "cash for clunkers" and a promise to "wean America off oil" while the rest of the world (including the Russians) were gobbling it up? What a freaking A-hole. If he wasn't propped up by the criminal conspiracy known as the MSM every single freaking day Obama would have been laughed out of Washington.

You are completely clueless, real estate collapse was a shock to most, none more so than to Bush's economic advisers that prominently included Greenspan. They were still blind to the scale of it in early 2008.

Mr. Greenspan’s critics say that he encouraged the bubble in housing prices by keeping interest rates too low for too long and that he failed to rein in the explosive growth of risky and often fraudulent mortgage lending.

“You had the authority to prevent irresponsible lending practices that led to the subprime mortgage crisis. You were advised to do so by many others,” said Representative Henry A. Waxman of California, chairman of the committee. “Do you feel that your ideology pushed you to make decisions that you wish you had not made?”

Mr. Greenspan conceded: “Yes, I’ve found a flaw. I don’t know how significant or permanent it is. But I’ve been very distressed by that fact.”

For 8 years investors have been sitting on billions waiting for an excuse to go back into the market. On November 8 they got that excuse.

Handing out loans to unqualified people made it hardly a shocker to any thinking person that a house of cards was being built.

You are an idiot with wild imagination and total disrespect for factual, history based understanding of the matter you shoot your half-baked opinions about.

Very few people saw the real estate collapse coming, Republicans least of all, since they were politically busy talking up the economy.

Oh, is this one of those thinly veiled suggestions that somehow I am racist? Why not offer California or New York, or are those states overwhelmingly too democratic for me? Or is it a suggestion that the economies of those regions are so bad I couldn't afford healthcare? If it is the latter, you should be fully supporting Trumps efforts to bring back jobs by any means necessary. You have no dignity in life if you don't have right to self determination, take it from me.

If it is the former, this type of slander doesn't surprise me, considering everytime ANYTHING is done that places more liberty or responsibility on individuals rather than the Nanny State, it HAS to be "racism". Free market healthcare, "oh that's racist!". Opportunity for the poor rather than food stamps and political exploitation, "that's racism!".

Yes, I believe in hard work, individuality, right to self determination and patriotism. I also believe in good immigration, getting the best, brightest and hardest working from anywhere and doing so legally. In Canada, it is the third and fourth generation Canadian who feels entitled and who whine, not the immigrants we get. If someone wants to come to any country and is not loyal to that country they shouldn't be allowed in. A nation is of shared values, core values. Socialism isn't what America is about.

I see, and WHY did you predict it in 1998 that is different from predicting one lets say TODAY? What has changed?

How did you capitalize on your prediction? I mean surely you made out like a bandit with your incredible foresight.

Why we are at it maybe you can share some of your genius and predict what the next downturn will have to do with.

As I said, too many loans to unqualified people and the fake .com world.

Of course I capitalized on my prediction. I am wealthy and owe no one a dime.
