Yesterday, a Maserati pulled up next to me at a stoplight in Virginia Beach, blasting out rap music. I could make out the words, which was easy because every other line was "....My Niggas, My Niggas......". I turned to look at who was listening to this garbage. Why it was an expensive Italian car full of white kids, of course.
Whatever.

Hillary cannot win or lose this election. She is a lump. One of the softest candidates the DEM's have ever run. This election is Donald's to win or lose. He has screwed up big time by not making the turn all his reasoned supporters had expected.
Thoughts?

If Trump were looking for the absolute wrong way to publicly comment on the Trump U case, he certainly found it.

The private sector will always want disposable employees whenever a surplus of labor exists.
Even if income taxes hadn't been cut Congress would have spent all the money and then some.

They always want them.
When there is a surplus of labor they are easier to get. And when the gettin's good, like it is now, they go for it to the max.

Could be. I still trust government to take care of the people more than I do the private sector.

A private employer cans somebody that person goes away, moves onto something else. A government is stuck with them unless they die or leave the country altogether. And, so long as the people keep the government from killing anyone, and hopefully we will, it will be thus.
Like it or not, ultimately we are our brothers keeper.

I would not trust the private sector as far as I could throw them, they are the reason the government got into it in the first place.

And the main function of the Federal Reserve is to keep unemployment at 5% so there is a pool.

The main function of the Fed is a stable dollar.
