‘Don’t you dare speak for me’ says CNN’s John Berman after Ms Greene defended her comments

GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger is among a handful of Republican politicians who have been warning against the party's loyalty to Trump.

Many arguing against aggressive stimulus spending from the federal government cite one critical reason: the national debt. AFL-CIO chief economist William Spriggs asked us to consider if the national debt is creating money for real economic activity. Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich feels now is not the time to be worried about the national debt for exactly the reason Spriggs mentions. Jim O'Neill did see the deficit as a problem in the long run and suggested solving the national debt crisis by giving the Federal Reserve a different target than low inflation. Watch the video to learn more about why some economists think the national debt may not matter.

Carlson's commentary drew an angry response online because it was seen as sympathetic to Rittenhouse or offering justification for murder. Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich tweeted the Fox management is complicit in Tucker Carlson's racist, murderous rants if they take no action against him. ... You should be removed for the safety of our kids.But presidential son Donald Trump Jr. tweeted that the left-wing media is willfully twisting Tucker Carlson's words to smear him.

We saw that all too clearly during the Democratic presidential debate last week with a number of comments disparaging America's billionaires. That is, the idea that billionaires don't deserve respect because they most likely got their wealth through luck. Much of the world will be watching to see if the Kansas City plan succeeds, but here's a spoiler alert: it's already a success. Meanwhile, the Kansas City experiment will be philosophically competing with the sentiment that success is just too random in America. Kansas City is trying "can do" over Yang's and Warren's "can't do."

Democratic Partys economic policies sought to aid the poor and the middle class, but mostly not at the expense of the rich. As Tuesday nights Democratic presidential debate made clear, such reticence has vanished from the current campaign. AdvertisementA widening economic divide, a raft of misdeeds by the billionaire class and diminished political clout for campaign mega-donors have turned the richest Americans into a particularly ripe target this election cycle. The broadsides come amid a raft of new data that underscore why billionaires are such a ripe target. Warren and Sanders wont go near any of their private fundraisers or shadowy campaign committees, raising the resources they need instead through small donors online.
