This comment about this video was on Dr Housing Bubble - (w""Millennials and living at home: For the first time on record the most common living arrangement for young adults is living with a parent" Also a really good article).
"BTW Asher Edelman is the guy Gordon Gecko was based in part on, he is anything but a friend of the poor or even all that caring about anything than his own bottom line. When you have people like that saying you need to raise wages or watch the economy fall apart you know its getting pretty bad."

I'd speculate the only thing he cares about is increasing his assets, based on what he says. (Similar but completely different are people who appear similar but are scared, and want to profit from other's misery, not their growth - such as the real estate swindler and others.). The only party affiliation he cares about is the one that helps the assets grow. He knows that requires they be churned, or planted and plowed in and grown and harvested, as it were. Actively invested and managed, not just accumulated. Some people are too scared to think about this, and they tend to hoard, build walls, hurt themselves and others. I don't think that is him.
Interesting difference from the real estate swindler who says he looks forward to profiting from the criminal conspiracy that we are still living with, from people losing their homes, tragedy.

e.g., MSNBC To the deniers... Watch THIS Video... It is not comforting to think that she may well be the Democratic Nominee...
Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...
Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"
Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"
Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

The hostess likely would be clueless about that concept, as well.

(5,997 posts)The squeezing of the middle class has caused massive increases in household debt and pent-up demand/unfulfilled needs (food/shelter, education, vehicles, home improvement).*
The not-so-accidental result of this squeeze is the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of increasingly few individuals and corporations.
This has also put downward pressure on tax revenue and granted elites outsized influence on what funding is allocated for. (guns vs. butter)

(11,945 posts)How much gets spent, how much money turns around in the economy. We've had a transfer of wealth to the top. This has created a shrinking consumer base.
The top 1% spends a tiny percent of what they earn. The bottom would spend 100- 110% of their income . The transfer of wealth to the top creates a shrinking consumer base
Bernie Sanders would be best candidate for the economy. "No Question."
Bernie is the only one out there talking about fiscal stimulation and banking rules that will get the banks to generate lending again as opposed to speculation.
Bernie Sanders' proposals are the best for the economy.
