Steve’s Barking; He kept Us out of war, I heard that before

 I hear from Trump supporters, we did have any wars when the Donald was president (after all Afghanistan was previous presidents and didn’t he negotiate a way out ?) 

 In American history didn’t President win a second term by saying he kept us out of war and early in his second term we were at war.

Steve’s Barking: If stocks go up, so should Bonds?

 If the stock on the index’s go up, so should bonds go up!!!!

 This is the logic of my crazy mind.

 First of all the yields of the bonds aren’t going, it the cost of the bonds that is going up. Right.

 The money that is buying stock has to come from some where , right! 

 The owner of the bonds sell them to buy stocks to make more money, I’m guessing.

 This seems to be a classic example of supply and demand.

 Big demand for stock the price goes up. The less demand for bonds, the buyers I would assume would ask for a premium to buy bonds. Classic economics or it should be.

 

Steve’s Barking; Should we ban peanuts 🥜 ?

 Should we ban peanuts? 

 🥜 Peanuts are one of the  most nutritious foods out there!

 Less than 1% of the population is extremely allergic to peanuts.

 So should we ban peanuts?

There are those out there who would ban vaccinations because a small fraction of those who take  the vaccines have a bad reaction to them, so are those who demand the various vaccines be band believe that we should ban peanuts?

Steve’s Barking: Screwy real ID in the US

 To get a real id in the US one needs to prove they have a Social security number. To prove this you need a Social Security card or a recent paystub with your Social Security number on it, which pay Stubbs don’t provide full social security numbers any more and most of U.S. citizens hide and can’t find because we don’t want identity theft. So I guess the government doesn’t want a large minority traveling by air.

Steve’s Barking: The more you know, the less you knows

 The more that one knows, the less one knows. How is that possible?? Well if one is inquisitive and you question what you have just found out, you will have to realize that you there is more out there and if you are doing your research you will realize that there is more to your question. If you’re really inquisitive you should realize that there’s more out there then what you have realized and a smart person would realize how little they knew about what they thought they knew. This holds true for science, economics and especially history, it may even be true in math(?).

Steve’s Barking; The end of The United States being a supper power part 2

 The end of World War  II the United States became a superpower, manly because it was not touched by war destroying its factories. Whether it wanted to, or not the dollar became the wold currency. The world looked to the U S as we overspent(?) on our military hurting the adversaries by forcing them to spend too much to keep up with the United States.

Ah but now we have people in power who actually think that cheapening the dollar is good for America? They feel that spending less for the military is an outstanding idea after all America wastes billions on billions of dollars on military spending.

The buying of goods and services in the United States is rather inexpensive compared to the rest of the world. ( Well most services anyway). We now have people who will be in charge who think that it’s an outstanding idea not to have competition with the rest of the world, that in all probability will put the United States populous on par or worse in a lot the rest of the world in affordability of goods.

Steve’s Barking; Money corrupts in politics !

 I keep hearing how money corrupts politics, from the same people who got a billion dollars in one month, which was 2/3 more then the other side got all together. 

 I here that the spending by political action committees swing election, taken from someone (me) who was in the district that the most money ever on a primary it didn’t swing the election, in fact my neighbors were pissed at all the junk mail that they received. After all there is a thing in economics called the law of diminishing returns. It’s more than diminishing returns, money may even have a negative effect.

 I for one have a hard time liking the party of my choice with all their request for money, and much of those request are down right insulting. I see by several comedians that they too are bombarded with request for money.too and they also are upset(?) by the request for money.

 My former congresswomen ( she was gerrymandered out) keeps complaining and asking for money because  that the other party is getting millions to fight her, while she has and spend 1/3 more then her political opponents in the other party.

 Me, I don’t buy the stories about money in politics. So sue me!
