there's a lot more to cover in almost every economic release than anyone has time for, especially if we're trying to write a bit about each one...i've decided to focus on prices of food, clothing, gasoline, and gadgets in this report because that's something most people can relate to..

Hopefully I'll get to some regionals because there are many areas in the country now where one just cannot afford to live but it doesn't show in the national indexes.

This might be worth digging into further. DCJ is thorough and finds the most telling pieces of financial data so if he's writing about it, it's worth looking at. He's awesome.

Unfortunately good mathematics goes out the window when it comes to immigration. The EPI is funded by labor unions and for God knows why, they want to unionize the illegals and thus push for amnesty.

So, this is full of it, not worth posting. It is so frustrating to see statistics, labor economics perverted for political purposes.
roblem is most of the GOP is bought and paid for and wants cheap labor globalization, outsourcing just as much as Dems do.

Both parties abandon the U.S. worker per their corporate donor demands.

The author believes that the Democrats have a strategy to marginalize Elizabeth Warren to better promote Hillary Clinton; but that Rand Paul might run to beat Clinton in 2016 — and to the dismay of the more neo-conservatives. (And then maybe the new Congress might obstruct Rand Paul the same way they did Obama.)

"The Huffington Post published an article detailing how the Democrat establishment had already made its move to cleverly neuter Warren by giving her more power within the Senate. For example:

'Throughout Senate history, individual members have often steered away from leadership positions, worried that the horse-trading and consensus-gathering that leadership involves would neuter their power. But the Senate has been evolving in recent years into a much more leadership-driven institution, in which individual senators and even chairmen have less power than they once did compared to caucus leadership. Today, decisions that would have been made in side negotiations, in committee or on the floor are instead made by leadership ... It’s those meetings that Warren will now be a part of. At the same time, she will diminish her ability to maintain that inside position if she criticizes the party from the outside. That dilemma, however, has been with her every step of her career, as she has moved closer to the center of power.'

We’ll see how this turns out, but it looks to me that the Democrats are giving her [Warren] a sense of importance so she 'plays ball'. Particularly when it comes to 2016."

She has to, especially in that God forsaken corporate bought and paid for institution. if she doesn't, she'll get very little for her state.

Bernie Sanders is a good example of how to play ball and not lose one's integrity but even he has made some outrageous votes in the last few years.

None of those presidents has ever abused their media control to blast individuals in congress. Imagine what would happen with a tattletale president moaning about whoever for whatever reason.

"Dear American people, such and such hates how good your life is, and wants more money. Such and such thinks you shouldn't have the right to choose anything for yourself, blah blah blah."

The core problem, IMO, that Americans are facing is the way wages are dropping relative to productivity- http://politicsthatwork.com/graphs/wages-as-a-percentage-of-productivity

There are two main things eating up the rest of the productivity: employer profit taking and the cost of benefits-http://politicsthatwork.com/graphs/division-of-productivity

Only the Democrats can even talk about either of those things and they have a whole laundry list of ways to solve each of them. They just need to put that message out there to the people loudly and clearly.

Thanks for writing this,
a hundred years ago we would have revolted till death,
today they will take until we are all dead.

Did you know USA has the largest active mass grave.

Every major city in this country has millions burnt and thrown in a pit together.

They are called homeless and its what happens when you cant afford to work in America anymore
you die outside in the streets, you get robbed of id and you at end a john doe
at the city morgue being cooked in mass grave with millions of others in the city.

Over ten million a year. That would make the USA the largest mass grave in the history of mankind.

You want to know where the poor end up? In a mass grave, burnt by the federal government.

Weird how the poor disappear every season after sleeping outside in the snow.

Nobody cares where they go cause the all die outside as john/jane does. Millions!
