The US Economy Was Just Revised $1 Trillion Higher

 

With most economists squarely focused at today's GDP growth rate, one aspect of today's GDP report that was largely ignored, was the wide-ranging revision to historical data that the BEA released alongside the latest numbers. What it showed was a doozy: on a chained (real) dollar basis, the US economy was estimated to have reached a $18.5 trillion level in Q2 2018. Putting this number in context, the last pre-revision number was $17.37 trillion as of Q1, which has now been revised to $18.3 trillion. This means that the BEA has "revised" the US economy to be $1 trillion higher, which while generally arbitrary and likely involves fudging the deflator, will mean that US debt/GDP just dropped significantly.

"I Was In Shock": Woman Finds Her BofA Safe Deposit Box Has Vanished

 

A safe deposit box should, by definition, be "safe." However, to her surprise, that is precisely the opposite of what a California woman discovered a few days ago.

Susan Nomi said that when she went to open the Bank of America safe deposit box she had for 16 years, the entire box had vanished. The safe is where she kept her family’s jewelry and her dad’s coin collection.

“I was in shock; I was just like what happened to my box,” said Nomi, quoted by CBS Sacramento.

Worse, Bank of America - which was custodian of the safety box - couldn't explain where her valuables went: “They don’t have an answer. They don’t have an answer. They say thanks for letting us know,” Nomi said.

Making matters worse for the infuriated woman, she herself was a retired Bank of America employee of 40 years; and she’s not alone. Others have complained that Bank of America drilled their safe deposit boxes without permission or notice.

Needless to say, what makes these situations bizarre, is that according to federal rules, banks can drill a box without permission only when there is a court order, search warrant, delinquent rental fees, requests from estate administrators, or if the bank is closing a branch. And yet none of those reasons applies to any of these cases.

‘Kamala Harris knows rent is too high’: That’s why she’s pushing a law for taxpayers to foot the bill

 

Democrat Kamala Harris, a junior senator from California, is proving the cliché that liberals are experts at spending OPM (Other People’s Money) and promising “free sh–” while pandering for votes.

Harris wants American taxpayers who work hard to pay their own rents or mortgages to pay the rents of minimum-wage workers.

Harris has introduced a bill called the Rent Relief Act, which would “give money back” to renters with minimum-wage jobs who pay more than 30 percent of their monthly income on rent and utilities.

 

That covers tens of millions of people. Even high-income individuals typically spend about 30% of their gross monthly income on rent or a mortgage.

In a video, Harris said: “America’s affordable housing crisis has left too many families behind who struggle each month to keep a roof over their head. This bill will ensure no family is priced out of the basic security of a place to live.”

Apparently, the idea of living in a less-expensive apartment or taking a roommate is a foreign concept to liberals. But under Harris’ plan, you don’t have to live on a budget because someone else will pay your rent for you.
