Labor's share of income nosedived in the '90s after NAFTA, briefly recovered and then tanked as globalization/China took over
Do you feel richer? Well do ya?
Employers call all the shots, and you get the crumbs from your masters' tables, if you are lucky.
Stop voting for the free-traders and libertarian lunatics of the two major parties.
Neel Kashkari and other Fed members seem aware at least of the nosedive in labor's share of business income, but are oblivious to its roots in globalization
Fooling around with interest rates isn't going to bring back the core manufacturing businesses which once formed the hubs of American middle class prosperity. That will be just as ineffectual as it has been throughout the Obama administration. Why should it work now all of a sudden when it hasn't worked for ten years?
Well, what else would you expect from the man tasked with implementing the useless TARP sideshow?
Neel Kashkari still hasn't got a clue, but he sure does sound like the workers' friend.
Minneapolis Fed chief links rates to labor share in interview
Kashkari’s break from Fed tradition on inequality adds to the case
for keeping interest rates low. He suggested faster wage growth and low
unemployment may not be putting much upward pressure on inflation
because workers have lost a lot of their bargaining power in recent
decades, echoing a point Fed Vice Chairman Richard Clarida has made. ...

Joe Biden November 2006 Columbia South Carolina: I voted for 700 miles of fence, but we need to punish employers of illegals
"Folks, I voted for a fence, I voted,
unlike most Democrats -- and some of you won't like it -- I voted for
700 miles of fence," Biden told the group.
"But, let me tell you, we can build a fence 40 stories high -- unless
you change the dynamic in Mexico and -- and you will not like this, and
-- punish American employers who knowingly violate the law when, in
fact, they hire illegals. Unless you do those two things, all the rest
is window dressing."

Joe Biden 2007: DC schools do poorly compared to Iowa schools because DC has a high minority population
Biden 'stumbles' over education question:
"There's less than one percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than four of five percent that are minorities. What is in Washington? So look, it goes back to what you start off with, what you're dealing with."

Bernie imploded within a week of his CNN town hall over his voting rights plan for criminals
The vast majority of Americans — roughly 75% — do not support Sen. Bernie Sanders' proposal to enfranchise all prisoners, but many are open to giving voting rights to non-violent inmates, according to a new INSIDER poll. ...
During a CNN town hall last Monday, the Vermont senator was asked to clarify if he supports voting rights for people like the Boston Marathon bomber or people convicted of rape. Sanders replied that even "terrible people" should be allowed to vote, contending that disenfranchising any group of people is a "slippery slope."

Trump's popularity position suggests he's re-electable, but don't forget how Bush 41 utterly blew it
Ahead of Obama, Reagan and Carter at this point in their presidencies, only Carter wasn't re-elected.
If liberals had any brains, or principles, they'd crucify Trump over illegal immigration just as conservatives crucified Bush 41 over taxes, but they have neither brains nor principles. Bush 41 proves you can go from stellar to defeated in little over a year, but Trump, as old Republicans keep reminding us, is no Bush 41.

Cook County Illinois Inspector General's investigation may have new Democrat Governor Pritzker taking classes from former Governor Rod Blagojevich in prison

Average hourly earnings for most people increased at a 2.9% annual rate in April 2019, a downturn from recent average quarterly experience
If this were an economic recovery like past ones, you'd think we could put together a string of year over year increases on a quarterly average basis above 3.5% lasting a couple of years, but that is still far from the case. The best quarter we've had is 4Q2018 at 3.46%.

The Hill's John Solomon drops a bomb on Alexandra Chalupa's head, reports she may be source of Trump-Russian collusion narrative even as she spearheaded DNC/Clinton-Ukraine collusion
Ukrainian Embassy confirms DNC contractor solicited Trump dirt in 2016:
In its most detailed account yet, the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington
says a Democratic National Committee (DNC) insider during the 2016
election solicited dirt on Donald Trump’s campaign chairman and even
tried to enlist the country's president to help.
In written answers to questions, Ambassador Valeriy Chaly's office
says DNC contractor Alexandra Chalupa sought information from the
Ukrainian government on Paul Manafort’s dealings inside the country, in hopes of forcing the issue before Congress.
Chalupa
later tried to arrange for Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to
comment on Manafort’s Russian ties on a U.S. visit during the 2016
campaign, the ambassador said.
Chaly says that, at the time of the contacts in 2016, the embassy
knew Chalupa primarily as a Ukrainian-American activist and learned only
later of her ties to the DNC. He says the embassy considered her
requests an inappropriate solicitation of interference in the U.S.
election. ...
Reached by phone last week, Chalupa said she was too busy to talk.
She did not respond to email and phone messages seeking subsequent
comment. ...
Andrii Telizhenko, a former political officer who worked under Chaly
from December 2015 through June 2016, told me he was instructed by the
ambassador and his top deputy to meet with Chalupa in March 2016 and to
gather whatever dirt Ukraine had in its government files about Trump and
Manafort. ...
“She said the DNC wanted to collect evidence that Trump, his
organization and Manafort were Russian assets, working to hurt the U.S.
and working with Putin against the U.S. interests. She indicated if we
could find the evidence they would introduce it in Congress in September
and try to build a case that Trump should be removed from the ballot,
from the election,” he recalled. ...
Though Chaly and Telizhenko disagree on what Ukraine did after it got
Chalupa’s request, they confirm that a paid contractor of the DNC
solicited their government’s help to find dirt on Trump that could sway
the 2016 election.

But other than that it's an economic boom because total nonfarm is up 263K.
