I agree that on the domestic as well as the international front, there are concerns that will continue to grow as the next generation takes their places in the national leadership. As we acknowledge a certain trajectory, it becomes important to navigate ourselves, nation, and allies into a certain future that we can live with.
Sir, I much appreciate the delicate icing on your wise curmudgeonly cake. Your valid points ultimately seem to come down to the unfortunate fact that the human species is grotesquely pathological in their seeming need to lie about anything, everything, and for no reason whatsoever. We are saturated in every way with lying, causing me to wonder, other than our closest ape relatives, or with forms of natural camouflage, do other species lie in a manner even close to that of humans?
Sorry to counter again but the last ten per cent do not vote in USA AND SURELY has not any major influence in the economical/political national sentiment. I am Italian and I follow assiduously the Us debate because your country is influencing the entire world and mainly Europe. The quality of your debate is vey high , but recently there is in US a battle on figures more devote to confirm each own position instead of trying to capture the real substance. My best regards and I loved your wonderful book the ideas industry
Why you do not mention the possibility that the people who live below the median wage are not benefiting of this debt -led growth that is more trickling up than trickling up?
You’re absolutely right. I’ve felt this confident all along, if only because at 76 I remember some pretty shitty times. Ironically, in the DC burb where we live, street crime is up so much that going into town is risky. Why it’s so, I have no idea. Crack houses and break ins of unlocked cars are no big deal. Nobody gets hurt. But shootings at the convenience store around the corner and robbing folks in a restaurant are.
Yeah, pretty similar here in Oakland. But I have to recognize that my urban bubble does not represent what's going on in most of the U.S. - including most cities.

As a grad school colleague and friend of Katia at Bloomberg, want to point out that her last name is Dmitrieva
Great, now I'll never become president of Harvard-- just kidding will fix ASAP.

I dunno, it's probably because your claim is false? https://www.ft.com/content/f32d4927-a182-4d7c-bf2d-dd915ef846b0
