I was just being flip...all this shit is scary as hell...
again I don't pay attention to the politics thing because it's just complete AIDS, but over the past 3 days I've seen:
*a fed chair who's afraid to stand up to the president with his desire to keep rates low and the market higher (to be fair this has been an on-going saga)...I understand the need to want to do this to head off a recession if there's a trade war with china, but that seems a lot less likely at this point...and data coming out would suggest we don't need the cuts...
*probably the most educated person (in a finance sense) on the finance committee calling LIBOR, Libra...
*junior dems calling one of the most senior dems a racist...not a Pelosi fan, but calling this woman a racist is pretty deplorable unless there are skeletons in Pelosi's closet that we don't know of (i'd highly doubt this)…
i'd tend to agree on your assessment of the Rs and Ds...Ds seem very tribal for lack of a better word and each tribe wants to take their ball and go home if they don't get exactly what they want...petulant youth syndrome at it's finest...the Rs seem to at least present a unified front...like I mentioned before, these people think trump is the anti-Christ...why the hell they ain't putting all their energy forward to try to beat his ass in 2020 is beyond me...it's so fucking stupid that it makes my head hurt...
