Deficits are only one metric. Growth, business investment and productivity are certainly important metrics if not more important. I think you are going out of your way to try to pull Harper into this economic argument. People can choose to ignore the last ten years or perhaps try to equate them...

Sometimes the U.S. system seems messy particularly when we have a President from one party and part or all of the legislature from the other party. I do like direct voting for the Nation's leader. A candidate can cut through all the party crap and static making their appeal directly to the...

I would never presume a Central Banker is a great steward of the economy. Central Banks around the world have made many blunders in the past twenty-five years. The global inflation we saw 2021-2023 that still lingers is a Central bank problem. By the way, it's no longer supply chains. It's not...

Good point. Poilievre didn't change since just January. The Liberals popped in a distinguished looking candidate who sold somewhat of a Conservative-Lite approach. Time will tell how committed the Liberal party is to this platform. As I noted before, the governing party in any nation always...

My point is if one tries to frame everything in terms of political parties and political personalities you lose the big picture. That's certainly a problem with both mainstream media and social media. ;) I'm glad that people here in the U.S. are talking about global trade. That might be the one...

I'm not saying Trump his handling it well. I'm simply saying a $1 trillion trade deficit is not sustainable and contributes to global economic instability. Much of this is a reckoning that is long overdue. Now if you read something that waxes on about global economic summits and mutually...

I think I know the answer why Bellichick doesn't go the provider route. There are quite many older guys who like the allusion that they attracted this young, hot woman. Of course, it's in their head but sex can be a very powerful drug. I'm sure she throws the word "love" around and makes him...

Why stop at $220 for a half hour? With his money, there's quite a few dime pieces who will spend a weekend with him on some island.

Yeah, he's got to keep her out of the media as much as possible. I would just expect a twenty-four year old smokeshow like Ms. Hudson to be bossy and self-absorbed. Now Bill has to gently rein her in.

Yep. She's costing him, but limit your losses.

She's the Captain now.

I saw a short period around 2017 where UK money growth picked up. It appears UK money growth was much lower in the two years before COVID. These were Carney's last two years as head of the UK Central Bank. I would say Truss is a talking head. She released a book with a big title last year...

I think you are leaning into a narrative. You are ignoring some foreign manufacturers can build plants in the U.S. It also ignores countries subsidizing and/or supporting favored industries. China is way over-invested and continuing to invest in export-related manufacturing. The balanced trade...

No offense, but I think a post like this is unfairly derogatory. The entire forum is littered with prognosis. If someone said Carney will guide the country in a smart and balanced manner and that Canada will get back on a healthy growth track, would you find it objectionable?
