HILLARY CLINTON REAL POLICY ON STUDENTS

"Student loan debt continues to be one of the largest economic issues plaguing the U.S., with the total amount topping $1.3 trillion. Hillary Clinton’s higher education policy touts debt-free degrees for underprivileged students. BUT IS SHE BEING GENUINE IN HER EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE?

Recent Hillary’s emails disclosed indicates that “during her first year as Secretary of State she insisted that Laureate Education be included  in her educational policy ..  More on this issue:  Former President Bill Clinton became an honorary chancellor of Laureate International Universities, which turned out to be incredibly lucrative. He was paid a cool $16.5 million between 2010 and 2014 for his role with the for-profit college.”  .. “Consider that while 12 percent of the country’s students go to for-profits, a whopping 96 percent of them  take out federal loans. As a result, for-profit colleges account for 25 percent of all federal financial aid dollars and half of all Department of Defense Tuition Assistance funds.

Walden University is a Laureate school in Minneapolis, and even though its parent company had the money to pay our former president $4 million a year, Walden charges students nearly $60,000 in tuition and fees for most undergraduate degrees.

ZERO HEDGE
ECON0MICS



If the labor market is "tight", and jobless claims are at 42 year lows, and the 0.5ppt point rise in the labor force participation rate is "heartening" then please Dear Janet, oh arbiter of all things labor-ic, explain - after exuberant hope and hype during 2015 that escape velocity was coming - why real average weekly earnings growth just collapsed to just 0.6%, the weakest since August 2014?




It appears the 'dream' is over!! As mal-investment-driven extrapolation of the trend of building and buying (i.e. excess inventories) has accelerated deep into recessionary-signaling territory as earnings growth has plunged...

The Fed Decision Explained In 1 Simple Chart. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/16/2016  : 
Tumbling US unemployment and surging US inflation is not what really matters to 'Global' Janet. She knows what happened the last time "market" expectations were so disclocatedly bullish relative to "economic" expectations... and doesn't want to be driving the current bus off the great-er depression cliff...


"Boxed In" much? "Global uncertainty" is a suddenly very convenient truth - The Fed knows that any move to tighten ripples through the entire world's collateral chains; and with the global economy already bleeding its deflationary collapse into US economic expectations, a hike is simply piling on - i.e. no moar rate hikes.

With the Fed Funds market now slashing rate-hike expectations for the rest of the year, just as The Fed tries to catch down to the market expectations, the biggest winner so far from the cowardly Fed is... a pet rock.  See chart http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-03-16/biggest-winner-coward-fed-gold

Trading The FOMC. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/16/2016  : 
With the market already pricing in dramatically fewer rate-hikes that the "cheerleading" Fed, Deutsche Bank expects the USD to respond favorably to the FOMC’s signals on Wednesday, contrary to the pattern seen after the last four FOMC meetings with press conferences. While 'bankers' are clamoring for rate-hikes (warning of "consequences" should The Fed fail to deliver), Citi sees 5 of the 6 main drivers of Fed decision-making pointing to a hike... and an echo of Oct 2015's dip-and-rip.  See Chart: http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/fp_thumb/images/user3303/imageroot/20160316_fomc7.jpg

US Industrial Production Collapses Most Since 1952 Outside Of Recession. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/16/2016  : The current decline in US manufacturing would be the first time since 1952 that Industrial Production has declined for four straight months without the US economy not being in recession. A worse-then-expected 0.5% MoM plunge - near the worst since 2009, led to a 1.0% drop YoY, the 4th monthly decline, led by a 9.9% YoY crash in mining... the worst drop since 1983.

Politics: 50 Years Of Failure. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/16/2016.
Politics has failed to deliver on nearly every promise it has made since the 1960s, and we think it’s time to hold it to account.

When it comes to raking in questionable dough via the abuse of political power, the Clintons are in a league all to themselves. In fact, their shamelessness is so rampant and sloppy, the only explanation is they simply thought no one would ever dare hold them to account.

The core belief of the Establishment is the central state should run everything.
If you’re an Establishment insider, the mainstream media will give you plenty of column inches and airtime to label Donald Trump a “dangerous” fascist: for example, Democratic insider Robert Reich’s fear-mongering frenzy Donald Trump is a 21st century American fascist, in which Reich conveniently overlooks constitutional limits on any president, “fascist” or not.
If you’re an Establishment insider, you’ll get ample opportunities in the corporate media to label Bernie Sanders a “dangerous” socialist. You don’t even have to be a member of the “vast right-wing conspiracy” (a staple of the Clintons’ attack strategy)–any insider can get airtime to label Sanders as “dangerous”–either because he’s socialist, or because he’s not radical enough. Any attack will do, and you’ll get plenty of opportunity to flesh out any attack, no matter how biased or nonsensical.

Did you know that if a given political party already has an incumbent in a particular political post, it’s standard practice in the United States for a political party to prohibit its voter-list to be purchased by anyone who’s not an incumbent office-holder in that party — including by someone who wishes to challenge or contest within that party the incumbent, in a primary election?
Only incumbents have access to that crucial list — crucial for any candidate in a primary election (unless there is no incumbent who is of that party).
