In a revealing interview, Trump predicts a ‘massive recession’ but intends to eliminate the national debt in 8 years[...] Trump, at another March 30 campaign event in Appleton, Wis., has surprisingly pessimistic views about the health of the U.S. economy, but intends to change that with massive trade renegotiations. (Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post) Over the course of the discussion, the candidate made clear that he would govern in the same nontraditional way that he has campaigned, tossing aside decades of American policy and custom in favor of a new, Trumpian approach to the world. In his first 100 days, Trump said he would cut taxes, “renegotiate trade deals and renegotiate military deals,” including altering the U.S. role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. He insisted that he would be able to get rid of the nation’s more than $19 trillion national debt “over a period of eight years.” Most economists would consider this impossible because it could require taking more than $2 trillion a year out of the annual $4 trillion budget to pay off holders of the debt. Trump vehemently disagrees: “I’m renegotiating all of our deals, the big trade deals that we’re doing so badly on. With China, $505 billion this year in trade.” He said that economic growth he foresees as a consequence of renegotiated deals would enable the United States to pay down the debt — although many economists have said the exact opposite, that a trade war would be crippling to the U.S. economy.

France: Exodus of 10,000 millionaires amid rising Muslim tensions
People who can, leave! I've seen friends leave Europe recently. Hard working tax paying people. It is not just the rising Islamic extremism. France had experimented with the 75% tax-rate recently, and quite a few of the billionaires and other HNW individuals packed their bags and migrated to saner countries after it was implemented. But immigrant crime is still a very serious issue in France, and the situation seems to be worsening.
Legal immigrants are fine and loved. Illegal criminals need to be dealt with. Won't you agree? Either you believe in numbers and statistics or you believe in magic tricks. You know perfectly there are places on this planet you will never venture. Why? Because you've seen the numbers, read the feedback, watch youtube videos of first hand witnesses. That is why you are safe behind your keyboard, and not risking your life to prove your point by putting everyone in the same bag. You have a passport. An ID. It does not say "World" on it. You belong to a community. You have traditions, a culture. Why should I let you destroy my culture? Do you believe your culture is better than mine? Answering the question, does not matter how, tells me you believe there is a difference between local and... the world... This is why you vote, why you have the police, why you pay taxes to maintain an army, social services, etc. Because you belong to a community. Stop paying taxes then if you are a world citizen. Stop using your credit card. Stop using a calendar. This political correctness position is a cancer and your enemy knows it well, and is smart enough to use it against you. |

GOP Elites for the steal–
Karl Rove says a “fresh face” in Cleveland might just be the thing we need to turn this election around.
What surprised me is how seriously the prediction markets are taking this possibility. The implied odds for Trump to win the Pubbie nomination have collapsed - and Ted Cruz's contract has come back from the dead. Its derived market price is now > 23 cents - and there was a time when it could have been had for a penny! The same for John Kasich, even though his has "only" rallied to little more than eleven cents. These three contracts have been so volatile, they look like penny stocks! Rigged election? This will demoralize We The People. From left to right. I believe this is their ultimate goal. Kill free speech, kill the 2nd Amendment, kill the American spirit. This will happen all over the world if this happens in America. Let's see if this spirit will wake up or not for this ultimate fight.  |

Trump Victory will be hard... Everybody is against him, and some republicans can change to Hillary side next. What do you think?
The whole planet, from Pope Francis to the GOP, is against him. Must be because he will do something against their agenda. Yes, it will be biblical for him to push all of them back... |

Who knew importing bags of rice and sugar in the US was such a dramatic olympic sport event... Sure would be fun to see the US border states legalize marihuana grown in state, and then enforce state laws against illegal shipments coming in from Mexico. Because then the Texas Rangers would be on the job. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNTOi6Fh3ZEMaking you fly up in the air in slow motion, while making you screaming not in slow motion, is a super power all Texas Rangers should have... |

Astrosurf vs. grassroot. How hard is it for you to tell them apart? It's usually fairly easy to form an opinion to a workable degree of confidence. Say, 80%. After that it's just a matter of matching semi-random related observations against the general hypothesis. It is increasingly clear that a lot of the 'protest' activities against trump are rent-a-mob astroturf, and one can see signs (figuratively and literally in this case) of it in a lot of the tangential reporting. I might take the time to mention again that what sparks my interest in delving into a subject is often something which some activist dug up and presented, and, since I frequent this list, you personally have been 'responsible' for doing this on more than one occasion. So, thanks. TRUMP was big news. No one started a thread about him and the US election, in any shape or form. I thought bernie was big news too. I started a thread about him too. Harpy the same, etc. I like my bias to be full and frontally nude. Then people can do the research, counter argue or agree with the ideas shared... The TRUMP thread was weird because, for the longest time, it has lots of views but little amount of participation. It could be funny to see when people actually started to participate, troll it, etc... We need deep analytic tools here. I thank you, and anyone else sparing their precious time on bitcointalk.org |

In Earth's history, CO2 levels have been above 8000 PPM... we are currently at 350 PPM and worried?!? WHY?
Maybe because the earth was very different then? And nowhere we want to go back to. I think its a complete scam to swindle tax-payers out of $20,000,000,000 every year (that's a lot of money for a claim with such poor evidence... like religion)
So you're saying scientists that look at the evidence are all in on it? Or incompetent? Maybe the 97% isn't accurate. But the vast majority agrees with anthropogenic climate change. Not saying your wrong but..97% might want to keep there jobs?All about the money.. But i am all for believing just in case the 97% are right..Car fumes are like smoking if we can quit then why not.. That assumes a conspiracy. That any scientist with evidence man made climate change isn't real wouldn't be hired anywhere else. Anywhere in the world. Hard to believe. Would need coordination and cooperation of too many people. And in very different countries.
The 97% claim is not based on all scientists, it is based on 73 hand-picked "climatologists"... Who are all paid by the IPCC...
It's as much of a conspiracy as asking 73 priests if they believe God exists and 97% saying yes...The evidence for anthropogenic global warming is lacking... I do not need to prove it doesn't exist until you first prove it does exist... I am not making the positive claim and am not obliged to provide the burden of proof... A pseudo-consensus among 73 people on your payroll does not evidence make... In what field of science does a scientist's opinion/belief count as evidence/proof? Why must I prove gremlins don't exist when you haven't proven your claim that they do exist? Yep. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=374873.msg9604149#msg9604149 |

@jannn http://m.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/wirtschaftliche-belastung-durch-fluechtlingskrise-14088839.htmlThe study you are talking about was payed by Bosch/public sector, i think they are scared about possible tax increase. The numbers i read all say abot 8,5 to 10 billion per year what also make sense because germanys Länder and Kommunen are talking about around 10.000-12.000 € per person per year. (They already prepapred 6.5+ billions the rest will come from the Bund) Edit Why did you make a post willikon argh Don't mind me, please. |

I'm not terribly concerned. The negative perception, if it is even true and not another fairly common form of propaganda leveraging group-think dynamics, was achieved by the establishment media pulling out ALL the stops and sinking to extreme depths of dishonesty. Even some of my highly progressive family cannot ignore it any more. 7 months is plenty of time to engineer a backlash, if it even needs any engineering at all.
I would suggest to Trump that he develop a brief catchy civics lesson ...
Reason for the backlash is probably because it contradicts pro life ideas right? Not about the abortion being done legally or not and the women punished because of that. Pro life movement doesn't want to punish the women. Only those that do the abortions. The doctors. As far as I know. If that is the case it looks inconsistent to me. So his position here makes sense. Don't agree with it but it is consistent. If abortion is illegal everyone involved should be punished. The 'backlash' I was talking about would be a general and reasonably forceful rejection of the mainstream media at large by an increasing number of citizens. The abortion trap was just one of many operations these guys have pulled vis-a-vis Trump. When it came down to the wire, almost all of the mainstream media went all-in for Establishment Inc's choice Bush in Bush v. Gore. By chance it was Mathews who started the ball rolling on operation abortion trap, and I remember Mathews the most in the Bush v. Gore event. The difference is that in Bush v. Gore it was in the critical last few weeks when they really showed their hand. In the Trumpian era, they showed it even more clearly than in Bush v. Gore with even nastier and more dishonest tactics, and 7 months from zero-day. Bush v. Gore 15 years ago was when I simply stopped paying attention to the mainstream media except occasionally to study what his between the lines in order to understand certain underlying strategies. Usually I find more truth by taking their material as being lies. This has only gotten worse (or 'better' if one analyses material a layer or two deep) since relatively recent de-regulations which occured since that time.  It is worth note that corporations activities generally align with the desires of those who sit on the board of directors. This tends to be the ultra-wealthy or functionaries thereof. Thus, even if 'six multi-national corporations' seem to provide some 'diversity', it is mostly an illusion. For my part, I get most of my 'news' from individuals who have the time and interest to dig things up and/or present their own novel take on their areas of interest. If one of their thesis merits interest in my mind, I follow up with my own research (which, again, sometimes includes seeing what the mainstream media is saying and analyzing it carefully and critically.) Possibly this for of information intake is why there is some desperate interest in trying to shut down news aggregation linking, tighten up 'fair use' intellectual property 'loopholes', and generally try to increase intellectual property regulations globally. Astrosurf vs. grassroot. How hard is it for you to tell them apart? |

China slaps 46% steel tariff on the UK. Says UK imports hurting domestic industry.China has risked raising tensions over its role in the UK steel crisis by imposing a 46% import duty on a type of high-tech steel made by Tata in Wales. The Chinese government said it had slapped the tariff on “grain-oriented electrical steel” imported from the European Union, South Korea and Japan. It justified the move by saying imports from abroad were causing substantial damage to its domestic steel industry. Tata Steel, whose subsidiary Cogent Power makes the hi-tech steel targeted by the levy in Newport, south Wales, was unable to say on Friday whether any Cogent products are exported to China. News of the tariff emerged as David Cameron confronted the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, on the sidelines of a summit dinner in Washington on Thursday night, urging him to use Beijing’s presidency of the G20 group of leading countries to tackle the problem. Asked if Cameron raised concerns about British job losses from Chinese steel dumping, a senior government source said: “He highlighted his concerns, yes.” The source added: “He made clear the concerns that we have on the impact this is having on the UK and other countries.” British politicians have been accused of pandering to China by blocking new tariffs on Chinese imports to the EU, a measure designed to prop up Europe’s struggling steel industry. The tariff move by the People’s Republic is likely to anger steelworkers and unions, who blame China for much of the industry’s recent troubles. Steel firms say one of the key reasons for the UK industry’s woes is that state-subsidised firms in China are “dumping” their product on the European market, due to flagging demand at home. The UK business secretary, Sajid Javid, who visited Tata Steel’s struggling Port Talbot plant on Friday, has been accused of blocking measures to crack down on Chinese imports. Javid voted against EU plans to lift the “lesser duty” rule, which would have allowed for higher duties to be levied on Chinese steel imports. The UK has also lobbied for China to be granted “market economy status”, which would make it even harder to crack down on steel dumping. “The fact is that the UK has been blocking this,” European Steel Association (Eurofer) spokesperson Charles de Lusignan told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. “They are not the only member state but they are certainly the ring leader in blocking the lifting of the lesser duty rule. The ability to lift this was part of a proposal that the European commission launched in 2013, and the fact that the UK continues to block it means that when the government says it’s doing everything it can to save the steel industry in the UK and also in Europe, it’s not. It’s not true.” http://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/apr/01/chinese-imposes-tariff-on-eu-steel-imports-tata |
