Hayek, I understood That<br />a modern industrial economy is a product of an immeasurably<br />complex dynamic. Modern leftists are wedded to the static model<br />(Marxist worldview) when it come to the subject of economics.<br /><br />P.J. O'Rourke once said that liberals view the economy a pizza<br />pie.If one person takes an extra slice, the some poor bastard<br />has to eat the box. He went on to say that the economy was<br />capable infinate expansion. This is why we saw massive growth<br />in the Coolege, Eisenhower, JFK, Reagan, George W. and the<br />Trump administrations. I was in my middle teens, but I remember<br />that That the Dow Jones Industrial Average broke 1,000. This<br />proves O'Rourke's hypothsis. This leads me to your hypothsis<br />(and mine.) Once the left swings the pendulum too far to the<br />left, there will always be a voter rebellion. Trump will win<br />40 states in 2020!<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />Leonard Jonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-79667620981474750462018-05-03T17:52:36.330-07:002018-05-03T17:52:36.330-07:00Some folks, even dems, are starting to see the lig...Some folks, even dems, are starting to see the light. Look up Seattle, Mike O'Bian, town hall to see what happens when people are pushed just too damned far. The main thrust was homeless camps of drug addicted criminals who have turned this beautiful city into a cess pool, with the ENCOURAGEMENT of pols like O'Brian, then the head tax on top of that. And the pols wonder why the tar and feathers are coming out!Rickvid in the Yakima Valleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787215943925443652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-3528364832430910302018-05-03T14:06:48.779-07:002018-05-03T14:06:48.779-07:00Yet, that same electorate voted Jerry in and voted...Yet, that same electorate voted Jerry in and voted for his bullet train.

One of t...I live in the High Desert of California. One of the most persistant<br />myths is that California is a lost cause. Less than a year ago, a<br />survey found that 72 percent of California voters are opposed to<br />sanctuary cities and states. I remember thinking, that someone was<br />purposfully not polling on the bigger issue: Illegal immigration.<br />A recent poll of voters shows that 59 percent oppose illegal<br />immigration. <br /><br />When it comes to ballot measures, we voted down a handgun ban, voted<br />for tax reform, the definition of marriage as between a man and a<br />woman, denying immigrants state benefits, etc., in landslides. I<br />did some research a few years back. Starting with Edmund P Brown's<br />last term as governor, to the point where his son used a legal<br />loophole in the term limit law to get elected to his third term,<br />2/3 of the 4 year terms the governors were Republican.<br /><br />I have not seen the electorate this pissed off since Jerry Brown's<br />first two terms in office. Keep your eye on the November mid term<br />elections. I cannot predict a Republican majority in either of<br />the state houses, but their will be some gains, and I can assure<br />you that there will be a Republican governor next January!<br /><br />Leonard Jonesnoreply@blogger.com
