@paulkrugman Rome never succeeded in running an economy in a non expanding state. Does any economic school think about how major economies could work if population-growth stopped or even contracted?

"Spinster" denoted unmarried women who spun wool. Highly skilled spinsters were paid enough to afford not to marry. Despite later applied derogatory connotations, a word that included independent women who rejected marriage and male partners entirely #WomensArt

@paulkrugman And believe even deeper root cause has been the near constant bad mouthing and denigration of our federal bureaucracy. Reagan amped up the rhetoric and it’s been championed by every small gov republican since. Welcome to America 2020.

@EricBoehlert Clearly it's the president's moment of rapture. Now that would be a miracle.

[Ellis Richard @RangersAtLarge]

@paulkrugman An epic fail from our federal leader class. And we pay them well to do their jobs. On the other hand we're seeing pretty strong leadership from our governors, mayors, and private institutions.

@svdate That's damning enough. But there were also other members of Congress briefed on the threat of the cvirus. Did anyone step up and sound a warning? This sstorm may be mostly Trumps, but it's also a huge failure of our leader class. Even Troy had a Cassandra.

@paulkrugman I remember Will and Ariel Durant’s The Lessons of History, a thin book that summarizes their 10 volume Story of Civilization. They noted the historical pattern of wealth disparity. And did I mention it was a thin book?

@paulkrugman In the future, or maybe it’s now in NY, you’ll need a reservation for a parking space before making a hotel reservation for your vacation.

@MSNBC @NBCNews @BeschlossDC @maddow Guessing that Kim will roll out a thick red carpet, treat our president to a huge military parade, and award him a gold medal. Trump will declare him a great leader, and the Koreans will continue their nuclear program. No problem.

The president elect is staffing his administration with Generals and industrialists. The military-industrial complex Ike warned us about?

[Ellis Richard @RangersAtLarge]

The president elect wants Scott Pruitt, 0K's attorney general, enemy of EPA and human caused climate change denier to run EPA. So sad.

@HouseGOP @RepByrne I assume you'll take the Senate to task for not giving the Pres' sup ct nominee a hearing. It is about the Constitution

[Ellis Richard @RangersAtLarge]

@HouseGOP @RepByrne So engage in criminal law reform. Do something besides whine about an active President who still wants to work.
