I understand that everything Hofstra said is correct..

Everything Hofstra said is about as wrong as it can be. Anyone who thinks banks rely on interest earnings from savings accounts and CDs for their working capital shouldn't be holding a discussion on economics. I posted a WSJ article that shows banking profits at all time highs during the years with the lowest interest rates in history. You can sit here and pretend that it doesn't exist, but you haven't provided jack to support anything you said.

BTW - I never said anything about the prime rate being based on the 10 yr note, I was talking about bank lending (primarily mortgages - google 30 yr mortgage rate and see if its based on the 10 year bond yield or not). But reading comprehension doesn't seem to be your thing.

Anyway, I think I have embarrassed you enough for one night.

POGS

Hofstra probably works in a bank or is a market professional..

Edit - my bad - I did mistakenly post (10 yr bond) next to prime rate -different post, they are separate

your wasting your time. Once his mind is made up there is zero that you can say or even definitively prove that will change his mind.

People assume that others follow the same logical reasoning patterns that they do because it makes sense but it unfortunately does not work that way. And what is really funny is the most illogical people are the ones who throw out the word "logic" the most yet they have no clue that they are so illogical (not specifically talking about holfresh here).

You can start a conversation with someone who says that "I believe that its possible for the knicks to win x number of games", you respond with, "sure, thats possible but its highly improbable. There whole team has spent 80% of their careers on injured list", they respond with "any team has the possibly of having injuries", you say "but those other teams don't have the same track records for players with injuries", they respond with "but this other team did it and they have players who are the same tall", you say "wtf does tall have to do with it?", next thing your know 40 posters are swarming in and labeling you a hater cause you are not a believer. Then EnySpree comes in and says "yeah, go ahead and try to use logic but they don't get logic cause they are racists. Only racists don't believe that the knicks will not win x games", then JRODMC comes in and closes the whole incident with a few sarcastic knicks hater jokes that are actually quite funny, then the next day is groundhog day.

Err... They were both wearing lapel mics.

Infowars is aptly named... a war on an informed public it seems.

You are a grown ass man BRIGGS. You are better than that.

Have Daddy Trump read you a bedtime story, like Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves. Oh wait... too Muslim.

Yep, he seems to be about as reasonable as Briggs

You make it sound like someone can actually win one of these wars. Heck, we can't even win conventional wars in the middle East.
Let's just stick to our business and try to get America back on track and stop worrying about Ukraine, etc.

And regarding Putin/Russia, they probably don't like the missile offensive (or do we call it defensive?) shield surrounding them, just as we wouldn't want it surrounding us.

We have to learn to get along and not buy into this BS military spending fear campaign. Life is pretty good once you stop watching their news and stop buying into their fear campaign.

Peace out

I was actually trying to spur conversation about a very serious topic in the backdrop of the presidential debate..I'm not sure how you deduce I'm a proponent of nuclear war..Like it or not these issues are real and current..The next president will have to manage the Cold War and our relationship with Russia..I don't think the candidate mentioning Rosie O'Donnell at a presidential debate is qualified to manage our nuclear arsenal...Getting America back on track??.We are still the most dynamic economy on the planet and our growth numbers 1.5/2% is largely due to global growth than our economy..

If you are really a patriot of the United States..Cleary he is unqualified..How do you put party politics ahead of the good of the country and talk about getting the country on track??..Trump is dangerously naive and unprepared...If he doesn't care enough to prepare for a debate why would he do the necessary study of material needed to run this country after becoming president..He is a narcissist..

He mocked the debate preparation process by saying he was at the Westchester Country Club eating cheeseburgers..Do we understand what's at stake here?

You sound too much like ra ra pom pom when it comes to Clinton or the US. We need to all get along is what I'm saying. With nuclear war, there is no us vs them and where did I say you were a proponent? You certainly sound like "we showed them". There are a few who survive, we all lose. Get over "we showed them..." types of mentality. It is a dog and pony show.

I'm not a patriot of the US, I'm a Earthling and see myself as just another person. Patriotism and Nationalism got us into most of these problems.

So, something to think about. I'm so deathly afraid of Clinton being president that I would rather have an underqualified (can't say unqualified cause if Bush could be president, honestly, anyone one of us could.) Trump knows business, Clinton knows politics. I still don't want her anywhere near a red button. Thank God for checks and balances though, regarding either of them. I still think, economically speaking, Trump would be much better for the US. We all know how Bill sold the Chinese, was it nuclear secrets or the like? What a team we'll have in the white house and her main concern, imo, will be fullfilling favors and getting richer. She's in the club, don't you see it?

Speaking of what is at stake, Do you want a woman who is on all kinds of drugs just so she can function? She is sick. And outside of her physical problems, more than one person has come out and defined here as not a very stable person.
Seriously, you are like the Nixluva of Clinton, that is how you come across. She can do no wrong. This is Pepsi or Coke...

When the voting takes place, I'm going to be interested in the exit polls, cause the last few years they suddenly stopped "working".

Here you go Briggs.......
She can be yours again!

She was under rated in her day But alas sometimes we fall out of love

I will have to agree with you on that. Hillary actually was quite attractive when she was younger.

BRIGGS wrote:She never gives interviews--she has no policies. Its come to the point that her game plan is to bash Trump--thats it. Trump is right--exactly what has a democratic President done for African American or Hispanic sin the last 20 years---nothing. If African American blindly vote for Clinton because they are following others they are simply following the same path. If the same path dont complain about the outcome. I think Trump is such a narcissist that he wants to be known as someone who did a good job. This is the time AA and Hispanic leaders should go talk with Trump--because I think the guy will cut deals with minorities to help them and expand the job base. Despite some stupid rhetoric--I think he wanst to do a good job for everyone and its up to some of our minorities over the next 2 months to really think--do I want more of the same or WORSE--or maybe should we try a guy who will sincerely try to help us? Educated wealthy whites dont like Trump--they like status quo--wealthy educated whites who control the media and many jobs--those are the people who right now hold the election in their hands UNLESS minorities stop and think. If African Americans and His panics change their thought process and they have time--I think this guy will do much better for them. And we want to see improvement in the uS--not just for wealthy whites.

BRIGGS- you are entitled to your opinion but saying "I think he wants to do a good job for everyone" is not a basis for voting for a guy. Trump's proposals make no economic sense. It does not matter how much you want to do a good job, if you are going to follow flawed strategies, you are going to fail. You cannot cut taxes on the rich, build a wall on the southern border, raise defense spending, without also massively increasing the federal debt. Do you really trust that Trump will not get mad at some off-comment by some world leader and decide he wants to go to war? The guy has no self-control. Do you really trust that Trump is not going to say some stupid comment that is going to damage our relationships around the world. I understand you don't like Hillary. I am not a huge fan of her either. But Trump is a train wreck waiting to happen. Change for the sake of change is not always a good thing, and just because Trump is going to bring chaos does not mean we come out the back end in any better shape.

Good article for the NYPost, speaks to the delusion that some have that Trump won the debate.
