Despite strong incentives in the Republican tax plan for American executives to expand, invest and ultimately boost the U.S. economy’s growth potential, a lot of the debt companies are issuing appears to be motivated by something else.

Non-financial corporate debt stands at 45.6 percent of gross domestic product, near the highest in post-war record keeping. Non-residential investment -- a broad category in the national accounts that includes everything from office buildings to software -- has been bouncing around the 13 percent of GDP range since 2012.

“You would think that companies want to add to productivity capacity but we really haven’t seen it,’’ said Priya Misra, head of global rates strategy at TD Securities USA. “If they view the economy as in the late stages of the expansion, then there isn’t a lot of confidence about the outlook and it is easier to buy back stock.’’

"The findings of the ... paper were peer reviewed and published in the world's premier scientific journal and were given wide coverage in the English-speaking media," Lewis wrote. "Despite this, a quick review of the first page of the paper was sufficient to raise doubts as to the accuracy of its results."

Peer reviewed, heh.

...since a Dem led House is hardly going to pass anything good for the people in the coming 2 years

Whadayamean? The Dem House will investigate Trump 24/7/365, and will almost certainly impeach him. Trump is probably personally responsible for the great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906, the Influenza Epidemic of 1918, the breakup of the Beatles, Chernobyl, the designated hitter rule, and Godfather III. Each of these treasons will have its own separate House investigation.

Our fragile democracy is in peril, and the new Dem House stands ready to protect it.

Heh. You're right they will probably launch one or more stupid partisan investigations. Goose, gander, and all that. Meanwhile us working folks keep getting pushed further downward and no one in Washington seems to care.

The proletariat still lives under the hobnail boot of the bourgeoisie.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. This place hasn't changed much.

Yes but my point is that in better times at least there was one party (and even good folks in the other like Ike) who gave a genuine shit about the people. That's all over with now with scant few exception.

Bring back Willy!

Up yours

Get out Rat you stink!

Hack! Long time no see! I’m no longer the only moderate independent around here.
