Too bad Obama normalized what Bush started. All you have to do is label them "terrorists." Further down the slippery slope and it is getting slipperier as it goes.

Union density even worse than the chart shows. Before the 1960s most of that union membership was in private businesses. If it wasn't for unionization of government workers, the decline would have been steeper.

In general 1. Public housing 2. Scrap post WW2 utopia of single-family suburban "castles" 3. More communal services in housing, less catering to automobile storage 4. Public transit that supports those policies 5. Direct current taxation of land value capital gains (Georgism)

What about the possibility that the markets ARE pricing in what they anticipate as a Ponzi scheme Minsky moment in which inflation accelerates but interest rates are held down.
