LiterallyTheWurst posted:I was irrationally afraid that Trump was going to take a Keynesian approach to the economy, which would probably help, and it would legitimize his racist policy proposals. I can't imagine that happening after watching the speech tonight. The applause was noticeably lower for any spending outaide of the military, and the House and Senate GOP can't even agree on the Obamacare demolition plan. I think it was vaguely discussed with family many months ago that Trump could end up a do nothing president and if the GOP keeps spinning their wheels forever then that'd be very good

quote:Summing up the Democratic Party’s embrace of Silicon Valley and finance, [Bannon] gloats: “[The Democrats] were talking to these people with companies with a $9 billion market cap employing nine people. It’s not reality. They lost sight of what the world is about.” For the most part, he’s right: the Democrats abandoned — even went to war with — labor, embracing the professional classes instead. Bannon’s rise on the back of a candidate who barely won more votes than Mitt Romney was only possible with the collapse of turn-of-the-century liberalism and its agents in the Democratic Party. Bannon (and Trump) would be nothing and nowhere without that implosion.

this special edition of hardball is pretty cathartic with people tearing their hair out from the insanity. Chris Matthews is even coming off as coherent some of the time http://www.livenewschat.eu/politics/

quote:As much as we might loathe Obama for having no plan to revive the American working class, we should never have believed he or the Democratic Party would. Liberalism failed in the twenty-first century not because of any new developments but because it always had wild deficiencies, even at the peak of its powers. It was only worth a drat when there was a radical labor movement for it to co-opt and, reluctantly, invite into a political coalition.

quote:Trump winks and smirks at Nazis while the Democratic Party can barely disguise its contempt for Scandinavian social democracy — “whatever that means,” as Clinton said. Finland’s government-provided baby boxes are as likely to elicit howls of contempt from Democratic Party officials as a golden hammer and sickle. Leading left-of-center pundits now seem to regard liberalism’s most popular quasi-social-democratic achievements — Social Security, Medicare, the Wagner Act — as little more than the tainted products of a racist, sexist past. Meanwhile, the party’s leadership spent the better part of last year slandering its most popular politician — only very recently and reluctantly a member of that party — as a wild-eyed demagogue.

Is the Bannon-Trump infrastructure "spending" plan still just tax breaks for construction and real estate investment companies, and privatization of the infrastructure for corporate profit, which is objectively a bad idea in all ways? Or is it actual spending, and a good idea? My heart tells me the first one.

Or is it actual spending, and a good idea? "Private and public infrastructure project funding" was what I heard. I'm assuming that means 10 : 1 tax breaks on toll roads to a paltry amount of publicly funded freeways.
