Love the orange crocks...homage to Mr. Orangemanbad?
Again....spot on re: govt dollars crowding out private enterprise/growth and stagflation.
I haven't had a belly-laugh as enjoyable as I did listening to Trump talk about how the whole Garbage-Force One went down and why he donned the orange vest. The guy should think about stand-up after his upcoming four-year term is up. He is really pee-in-your-pants funny.
I imported it in from the Midwest. Can't get it here. When I am in the Midwest I drink it, Grain Belt and others. Out here, usually whatever is on tap. I played a golf tournament and they had a keg of Leinenkugal's which cracked me up.
I shared your article on my Facebook page to see if it triggers a few lefty friends of mine who keep screaming the economy is great & Harris deserves credit for it (😳).
Thank you. Are they screaming? In my informal street poll last night, only one woman(dressed in all black with thick black plastic eyeglass frames) recoiled at the sight of me.
Old Style! Im here for it! My dad drank it a lot when I was a kid. Big Octoberfest party in LaCrosse WI: Pabst v Old Style. Im a Pabst guy myself. Don’t see Old Style much anymore, at least not here in N ID. Oh yeah and there are only two kinds of jobs being “created”: part time and government. Hell, I’ve been thinking about going and making $17/hr stocking shelves at ace hardware. That would double the number of jobs I have. And my wife is considering getting a job to. Which would triple us up! Growth! (Since my income has been down 40% the past two years, and my expenses up 40%). Bidenomics is hell.
Hell. I like Grain Belt slightly more than Old Style. Pabst is a national brand now! Resurrected by an acquaintance of mine Ted Pratt. He wrote a good book about word of mouth marketing called Fizz.
That’s awesome. Lots of great microbrews out here but occasionally will go out and end up ordering Pabst. I think it’s actually about the best macro-brewed beer. I wonder if there is a museum of beer advertising and logos. Would be cool place to visit. Maybe in Vegas!
Rather expensive costume. Surprised you could find one big enough. More interesting is the size of the house behind you. If that's yours, I'm going to start writing a blog.
I'm pretty sure it ain't the blog. It would be better if you were 6 ' 4", stood all day in the Eurodollar pit in the '80's and '90's, were a big "local" and had balls of steel.
I'm only 5'11", but I stood in the bond pit in the 80's as a local. . Yea, my money against the world. I would say I had balls of alumininum which was pretty good at the time.
Truly! - kudos! I, on the other hand, was a terrible floor trader and no jokes about balls :) I was part of the 80% to 90% who washed out. The only thing I did right was to hang on to my membership for 30 years and the stock for 10 more.
An effective measure of the real economy would exclude government spending. Spending, the cost of government spending, like the cost of goods sold (COGS)--is the burden the people suffer, through the imposition of taxes, future taxes, and debt. There is no free lunch, which is what you have when govt spending is included as a measure of the economy or growth of the economy.
We're constantly stuck with the Keynesian mirage of "pump priming" by deficit spending, as if untold benefits accrue in this manner--while ignoring the second half of the Keynesian assumption that budget surpluses will accrue to retire the debt-financed deficit spending.
I don't disagree, but since the government spends you have to include it. Gary Becker's old blog when he was alive was where I read about government spending's effect on GDP being close to zero. When economists say that, it's at the "margin" and I should have included that in my blog today
I wonder about that but am only thinking about one state, PA. Nevada Republicans might win downballot races. Sam Brown is competitive all of a sudden. Drew Johnson looks like he might win. Steve Horsford looks like he could lose and many state legislature races that are gerrymandered heavily Democratic look like they could flip. Steve Yeager is the Democratic leader and is in a neck and neck race.
You are right about the jobs I read an article about Gov. hair gel boasting about all the jobs that he helped create in CA. They were all in the goverment. Also you drink fine wine don't know how u can drink Dog Style. We used to drink that in our late teens and early twenty's back in the 70s.
There's also money creation (which you mentioned very briefly), but money creation is de facto taxes - they devalue all the dollars already out there and capture the difference themselves.
This is true. Inflation is an undeclared tax. The trick is to contain it while having private sector growth. For example, if inflation is 2% and GDP is 3%+, you don't notice the inflation. That's why this last four years we have really felt socked by it
I see you have an "Old Stagger" in your mitt. Pretty good beer, but much better than butt wipe - I'm sorry I meant Bud Light - or the products from Miller.
When do the wheels finally come off? We have been whistling past the graveyard, circling the block and taking another stroll by.
Government and health care are the only sectors that have been growing consistently for over a year. Of course, I don't really trust the Bureau of Labor Statistics either. On a scale of 1 to 10 and the CDC at 0, BLS might be at 2 or 3. But what the hell do I know, and I'm not even a Big Red Car.
Great costume you Nazi-garbage-deplorable person of hate!
I am deplorable

Never thought of that but it works out!
Is the Old Style part of the costume or is that what you normally drink?
I imported it in from the Midwest. Can't get it here. When I am in the Midwest I drink it, Grain Belt and others. Out here, usually whatever is on tap. I played a golf tournament and they had a keg of Leinenkugal's which cracked me up.
The Old Style was a nice touch. Nothing like some fully krauesened joy on a hot day!
"fully krauesened"! Well played and spelled correctly!

“Even if you don’t like him, the people around him so far are pretty pretty good”
I was impressed with that Cantor Fitz guy leading the transition.

Not my home....down the street, around the corner and up the other street! Mine is a one story.
I'm pretty sure it ain't the blog. It would be better if you were 6 ' 4", stood all day in the Eurodollar pit in the '80's and '90's, were a big "local" and had balls of steel.

Oooo... Smart guy! Good move.
Spot on today, Jeff.
And love the costume. MAGA!

Also read an article Nate Silver wrote he said the real spred is Trumo 55% Camale 45%.

Bet u a six pack of dog style.
That was just mean - but funny.

There is always room for Old Style.
"Where’d you get that dollar to spend?"

That closing sentence. 🤣

Recognized the reference. The Big Red Car's owner is a friend. :)
He will win over 300 electoral votes and win decisively.
Not sure about that.
Great call kudos
Good costume. I think there was a run on Hefty Bags this halloween...
And that Old Style... My first was when my dad shared his during a game at Wrigley Field in the 70s. Never forget.
