African Americans:Looks like there's a new SC poll with Biden only +8 ahead of Bernie.
Biden is -9 since their last one and Bernie is +6.

South Carolina Democratic Primary: Biden's Lead Shrinks. Sanders Closing in. Steyer in Third.surveyresearch-ecu.reportablenews.com
Biden leads with AA 55+ 49% while Steyer has 9%, Bloomberg has 8%, and Bernie has 7%
Pretty stupid to include Bloomberg when he's not on the ballot and write ins aren't allowed. kinda invalidates the poll since that could be Biden or anybody else's support.
Trump looking to bankrupt the country so the rich get richer (again). His top economics adviser is talking about plans in development to encourage as many people as possible to buy stocks (at these highest ever valuations except for maybe just before the 2000 crash). They're considering letting people invest $10K (annually I presume), and have it be like a 401K or traditional IRA where profits aren't taxed until they are withdrawn from the fund. It's a desperate attempt to try and buy votes, and if it succeeds, those with the most assets will be rewarded handsomely as more money flows into stocks. The media equates the stock market with the economy, which helps him get re-elected.
Kudlow and Vice President Mike Pence have suggested that the package could be unveiled in early fall, as voters are deliberating whether to elect Trump to a second term.
White House considering tax incentive for more Americans to buy stocks, sources say
The proposal would be part of a new batch of proposed tax cuts.www.cnbc.com
I think AMLO would've been fine. It's what I would've said. But also it's something that they should know.
Even more pathetically, Klobuchar is on the commerce committee. You'd think she'd have retained the name of the president of our biggest trade partner.

You are so correct. And we'll see a lot more and a lot worse between now and the end of the year is my guess. I fully foresee all China tarrifs waived under the pretext of "they suffered enough under Cornoavirus, time to help them out" with the real under-pretext of keeping the market strong for the election.
They always gonna sell us out breh, it's up to our generation to break free from these assholes and those in the church that that'll always sell us out.
The whole "the DNC would rather lose to Trump than win with Bernie" angle is borderline conspiratorial. Even the "Perez and crew would lose their jobs" line doesn't make any sense, as if they won't clean house if we somehow lose to Trump again (DNC chair isn't really a permanent career to begin with).
I mean if you max your 401k, then your IRA, then you would have this 10 in a "readily available" vehicle? I guess you can do this 10 before your 401k or IRA to retain that availability.

It wouldn't be deficit neutral. As you're aware, those on higher incomes who are likely already investing in the market will be able to take full advantage of this tax shelter, which means they'll end up paying less taxes than they do now. It's also regressive, in that those on lower incomes won't be able to use it much or at all.
