So concerned you are that Davos is Dead.
(factman, 19 November 2016 02:17)

Who is Davos, when did he/she die and why should we be concerned of his/her death?!
---------

So scared of a man elected only 9 days ago.
(factman, 19 November 2016 02:17)

Why should I be scared of a man who is sticking to all his promises that benefit Wall Street and big corporations (like the conservative judge for the Supreme Court, the cut to corporate tax rates and repeal of regulations for big banks). That's what I need. Sure, he is not sticking to his promises that benefit the blue collar Democratic voters, but I don't care about that lol
---------

First step is to drain the swamp of people like you who suck out our energies to fight the battles you can't achieve on your own.
(factman, 19 November 2016 02:17)

Which battle did you fight for me and where did you fight it?! In your dreams? lol

Go solve your own problems or choke on them
(factman, 19 November 2016 02:17)

My problems are related to high corporate taxes and regulations for big banks. Thanks God, Trump is going to reduce them.

You better grow up soon: France, Denmark, Italy, Hungary, and Auustria all follow very soon.

Well, not my fault why Trump was so quick to renege a good portion of the promises he run on, even though his presidency has not begun yet. Feel free to discuss that with Trump on why he was so quick to renege a good portion of his promises - I can't help you with that!

That tall, strong, beautiful wall has already been downgraded to a pitiful fence in some places. The removal of the 11 million illegal rapist and job-stealing illegal immigrants, has been downgraded to removal of the criminals (which even a weak guy like Obama is doing already). Looking at the staff he is selecting, he is doing the contrary to the swamp draining... you need more?

Poor factman, your bubble burst so quickly lol

I'm happy though that Trump is sticking to all his promises that benefit Wall Street and big corporations (like the conservative judge for the Supreme Court, the cut to corporate tax rates and repeal of regulations for big banks) and even better, the US Congress supports him for those things :)

Most politicians are corrupted or corruptible, being in Washington, Moscow, Brussels or Beijing, period.

True that Trump will not/can not keep all his campaign rhetoric after in office even though I voted for him. Possibly, there are minor changes of U.S. 's police in Balkan as well as in Europe as a whole, such as, someone in American embassy in Belgrad would likely loose his job, Serbia's accession to EU would be smoother, etc.

Tsipras has lost any negotiating power with the EU and Greece
(Jugoslavija,

I do agree with you that Tsipras has got no negotiating leverage with the EU and he’s just playing for time. However ,I also think the Brexit debacle blows the lid off the whole gaff and creates an entirely new and unpredictable situation. As a result popular Eurosceptic and pragmatic anti-federalist forces at national level will have an unprecedented opportunity to overthrow their complacent federalist elites and kill off their pet projects. Next year’s elections in Holland,France and Germany could be the beginning of the end for the EU. Brexit-type referenda in several other nations will now be far harder to resist and, the polls suggest, at least as hard to win. Other departures, or at the very least a radical re-orientation of where the EU is heading, suddenly seem highly likely in the years ahead.
In time, 23 June 2016 may come to be seen as the moment the idea of a United States of Europe died.

The Dodd-Frank Act was passed in 2010 to prevent Wall Street from taking too much risk and causing another calamity for the working class like it did in 2008 and protect the consumers. Obviously Wall Street does not like that because it limits its profits.

(icj1,

The Frank-Dodd act was just a response to the outcry of the 2008 financial crisis and the bailing out of the banks at the taxpayers expense.The goal of Dodd-Frank was supposedly the prevention of a recurrence of the crisis, making the financial system bulletproof through the creation of new rules.In fact, the biggest problem with Dodd-Frank-unlike the Glass-Steagall act -is it failed to regulate against the banks from using clients money to speculate on the derivatives market.It hasn't changed Wall Street’s culture, one in which permissiveness, cheating and abusive behavior is too often the norm. Wall Street scandals and crises didn’t end with the events of 2008, or the passage of Dodd-Frank in 2010. Since then we’ve witnessed the Libor price-rigging scandal,the laundering of $ billions of Mexican drug cartels and the so-called “London Whale” mess at JP Morgan, which lost the bank $6.2bn on risky derivatives trades.
If the US had a Real Justice Department that prosecuted the Criminals of Wall Street we would've seen a "behaviour" change. The motto of the Obama Justice Department has been, Too Big to Fail, Too Big to Jail.

Technically Congress must approve much, but you overlook that Trump has mandate without Congress.
(factman, 16 November 2016 03:05)

Sure, but (technically or non-technically) Congress holds the purse. If Trump wants to spend hundreds of billions of his own money to find and deport 11 million illegal immigrants, he certainly has the mandate to do that without Congress (assuming he is as rich as he says he is). But the Republicans in the US Congress have made it clear already that they don't intend to appropriate US taxpayers money for that.

Define "change", because the only thing that is clear is that a lot of change is coming for the benefit of the big corporations. No wonder the stock market has been rallying for several days now after Trump's election.

The financial sector has been deregulated since Bill Clinton repealed and signed into law the Glass-Steagall Act which prohibited commercial banks from engaging in the investment business. That decision created too-big-to-fail banks with hardly any equity and loaded with debt.Therefore, there is nothing left for Trump to deregulate.

I agree with you as well in relation to both Trump and the Greek debt. Trump will have to battle forces inside his own party, but has been given a mandate to follow through with immigration, economy and health care. Foreign relations may not be high on the list other than looking for cost savings. The largest debt for the US is the military and its the same for Greece as well. Varoufakis had the only viable plan to get Greek out of debt, essentially default. Now Greece is urging for some debt relief from Europe supported by the IMF, but the EU is more apt to continue to apply more pressure to Greece to continue to expand it's tax base and collection of revenue at the backs of the Greek citizens. In hindsight, Greece should never adopted the EU currency and kept the Drachma to at least have control of the money supply. It should seriously consider dropping the EU currency as a first step so that prices can adjust to the current GDP of the country. Tsipras has lost any negotiating power with the EU and Greece is stuck with him for the next few year's.

A side note, Obama's visit to Greece was covered in the North American media, instead of showing the mass demonstrations against Obama, the North America media outlets instead gave us a movie on demonstrations against Trump in Greece!! It tells you how the entire global media has been bought and sold.

The Count of Kosovo is not too bright since he once posted that the US is very wealthy because Apple is worth $500 or $600 million and therefore the US debt is a mere pittance. Not realising until it was pointed out that Apple or Exon etc were not owned by the US Government and if they were sold the proceeds would not go to the government.
While ICJ1 is an interesting case as it suffers from a strange form of autism without the savant factor. Its linguistic skills are very little limited but its bursting to say something profound and thoughtful, so outcome blurbs like its response to Watcher. Totally idiotic and makes no sense at all. It would have been best to stay silent but it can’t help itself.
ICJ1 is unable to hold a normal debate since it knows nothing and on the few occasions when it did make comment you could run buses through its argument so it avoids doing so and relies on old and tiresome smart arse statement, or in my case P.S. CE = Chief Economist. Normal people make a point a couple of times, but our little friend has been using the CE for years now because it’s not bright enough to create something new so it rocks back and forth repeating on and on sj is CE ….What can you do but be amused at such limitations.
Normal people know their limitations, but ICJ1 thinks its posts are humorous, whity and will gone down in the annuls of fine literature. Sadly, they are nonsensical to say the least.

Technically Congress must approve much, but you overlook that Trump has mandate without Congress. Few Washington GOP supported him. He was a change candidate and was clear on what he wanted to change. The people voted for that vision and Congress will honor it. They will not like some of it, but they will do it.

A number of important things don't require Congressional approval.

Cutting taxes for corporations is intended to re-patriate the $2.3T
sitting outside of our country due to high corporate tax rates. those funds are intended to be used for infrastructure repair which will generate many jobs.

Trump will do most everything he ran on. He has little opposition and people want change.

You should stick to what you know (which is splitting legal hairs bc American politics, economics, and the death of globalism is definitely something you don't know). lol

I don't disagree with your statement.My question is whether Trump will be allowed to carry out his pre-election promises.Hilary is down but not the congress mafia and their oligarch financiers.Trump has already started sounding conciliatory towards the establishment if he decides to include the establishment into his government, the American people will again be disappointed.
I don't see any difference in Mitsotakis and his predecessor Samaras political agenda.They are both pro-eu,pro-nato and pro-austerity and therefore I cannot see how Greece can get out of the present mess.The fact remains that Greek politicians, like many other Western politicians, will do almost anything to get re-elected.What happens if your tax base will not support this? You sell your political soul, defer, and/or hide the true costs of your largesse behind undisclosed derivative deals with Goldman Sachs that eventually put your entire country’s sovereignty in jeopardy.I always thought that Greece should have defaulted back in 2010.There would’ve been a short-term chaos in the markets, but longer term the Greeks will have some sort of chance of prosperity - they have none at the moment.The Greek tourist industry would boom, out of the death clutches of the Euro, and there would’ve been a great surge in employment, especially among the young.There would, of course, be eye-watering haircuts for all those banks who thought Greek sovereign debt was a good investment.

What Serbia has to be very careful with is not to take advantage of these "winds of change" and use it the same way the Pristina Gang did...this has to be an honest, open opportunity to finally settle the Kosovo question once and for all. If Beograd hides behind "big brother" or "buddy's", then the next "winds of change" will bring that house down!

I think Vucic is the right person for the job and I do think he'll be fair...that's just my opinion, I could be wrong. I don't think Thaci and his "group" will be capable of making a deal only because they were actually part of the actual fighting in Kosovo and has too much too lose...Just as in every place, there are good, young, smart politicians that can make something like this happen, but are surpressed for whatever reason.

pre 7 godina

Whether he is Vucic's "buddy" matters little because the US has its own agenda, but one thing that has come out during this presidential campaign is the concern about the US debt and the level of the military budget and failed wars.
Trump has been stating that he wants to return the US to being great again by opening jobs for Americans and to do this he needs to focus on rebuilding infrastructure. He needs to use the borrowed money to commence these works.
He can’t do infrastructure and continue the current level of military expenditure so something has to give. Which area does he cut expenditure? Health, Education, law enforcement, social security or defence? My guess is defence so the US will have to reduce military numbers all over the world at a very fast rate.

I don't disagree with your statement.My question is whether Trump will be allowed to carry out his pre-election promises.Hilary is down but not the congress mafia and their oligarch financiers.Trump has already started sounding conciliatory towards the establishment if he decides to include the establishment into his government, the American people will again be disappointed.
I don't see any difference in Mitsotakis and his predecessor Samaras political agenda.They are both pro-eu,pro-nato and pro-austerity and therefore I cannot see how Greece can get out of the present mess.The fact remains that Greek politicians, like many other Western politicians, will do almost anything to get re-elected.What happens if your tax base will not support this? You sell your political soul, defer, and/or hide the true costs of your largesse behind undisclosed derivative deals with Goldman Sachs that eventually put your entire country’s sovereignty in jeopardy.I always thought that Greece should have defaulted back in 2010.There would’ve been a short-term chaos in the markets, but longer term the Greeks will have some sort of chance of prosperity - they have none at the moment.The Greek tourist industry would boom, out of the death clutches of the Euro, and there would’ve been a great surge in employment, especially among the young.There would, of course, be eye-watering haircuts for all those banks who thought Greek sovereign debt was a good investment.

I agree with you as well in relation to both Trump and the Greek debt. Trump will have to battle forces inside his own party, but has been given a mandate to follow through with immigration, economy and health care. Foreign relations may not be high on the list other than looking for cost savings. The largest debt for the US is the military and its the same for Greece as well. Varoufakis had the only viable plan to get Greek out of debt, essentially default. Now Greece is urging for some debt relief from Europe supported by the IMF, but the EU is more apt to continue to apply more pressure to Greece to continue to expand it's tax base and collection of revenue at the backs of the Greek citizens. In hindsight, Greece should never adopted the EU currency and kept the Drachma to at least have control of the money supply. It should seriously consider dropping the EU currency as a first step so that prices can adjust to the current GDP of the country. Tsipras has lost any negotiating power with the EU and Greece is stuck with him for the next few year's.

A side note, Obama's visit to Greece was covered in the North American media, instead of showing the mass demonstrations against Obama, the North America media outlets instead gave us a movie on demonstrations against Trump in Greece!! It tells you how the entire global media has been bought and sold.

The Dodd-Frank Act was passed in 2010 to prevent Wall Street from taking too much risk and causing another calamity for the working class like it did in 2008 and protect the consumers. Obviously Wall Street does not like that because it limits its profits.

(icj1,

The Frank-Dodd act was just a response to the outcry of the 2008 financial crisis and the bailing out of the banks at the taxpayers expense.The goal of Dodd-Frank was supposedly the prevention of a recurrence of the crisis, making the financial system bulletproof through the creation of new rules.In fact, the biggest problem with Dodd-Frank-unlike the Glass-Steagall act -is it failed to regulate against the banks from using clients money to speculate on the derivatives market.It hasn't changed Wall Street’s culture, one in which permissiveness, cheating and abusive behavior is too often the norm. Wall Street scandals and crises didn’t end with the events of 2008, or the passage of Dodd-Frank in 2010. Since then we’ve witnessed the Libor price-rigging scandal,the laundering of $ billions of Mexican drug cartels and the so-called “London Whale” mess at JP Morgan, which lost the bank $6.2bn on risky derivatives trades.
If the US had a Real Justice Department that prosecuted the Criminals of Wall Street we would've seen a "behaviour" change. The motto of the Obama Justice Department has been, Too Big to Fail, Too Big to Jail.

Tsipras has lost any negotiating power with the EU and Greece
(Jugoslavija,

I do agree with you that Tsipras has got no negotiating leverage with the EU and he’s just playing for time. However ,I also think the Brexit debacle blows the lid off the whole gaff and creates an entirely new and unpredictable situation. As a result popular Eurosceptic and pragmatic anti-federalist forces at national level will have an unprecedented opportunity to overthrow their complacent federalist elites and kill off their pet projects. Next year’s elections in Holland,France and Germany could be the beginning of the end for the EU. Brexit-type referenda in several other nations will now be far harder to resist and, the polls suggest, at least as hard to win. Other departures, or at the very least a radical re-orientation of where the EU is heading, suddenly seem highly likely in the years ahead.
In time, 23 June 2016 may come to be seen as the moment the idea of a United States of Europe died.

Sure, but (technically or non-technically) Congress holds the purse. If Trump wants to spend hundreds of billions of his own money to find and deport 11 million illegal immigrants, he certainly has the mandate to do that without Congress (assuming he is as rich as he says he is). But the Republicans in the US Congress have made it clear already that they don't intend to appropriate US taxpayers money for that.

Whether he is Vucic's "buddy" matters little because the US has its own agenda, but one thing that has come out during this presidential campaign is the concern about the US debt and the level of the military budget and failed wars.
Trump has been stating that he wants to return the US to being great again by opening jobs for Americans and to do this he needs to focus on rebuilding infrastructure. He needs to use the borrowed money to commence these works.
He can’t do infrastructure and continue the current level of military expenditure so something has to give. Which area does he cut expenditure? Health, Education, law enforcement, social security or defence? My guess is defence so the US will have to reduce military numbers all over the world at a very fast rate.
There is a growing outright anger in many parts of the US by people who are feeling left behind while the wealthy grow richer. If Trump fails to fulfil his major promises or show he has commenced something then he will be out in 4 years’ time and insurrection will take place in the US.

Trump's pre-election announcement was that US' nuclear arsenal has fallen behind Russia's and he would rebuild it to get ahead of Russia, leading to a new arms race. So if Trump is allowed to carry that, the conflict with Russia will become even more dangerous.

You either haven’t read my comments or your English doesn’t help you.Try again.
Trump wants to do the opposite of holding the financial sector accountable; he wants to reduce regulations for his Wall Street friends!

It sounds like you want Trump to implement what YOU wish, not what Trump wishes lol
(icj1,
The financial sector has been deregulated since Bill Clinton repealed and signed into law the Glass-Steagall Act which prohibited commercial banks from engaging in the investment business. That decision created too-big-to-fail banks with hardly any equity and loaded with debt.Therefore, there is nothing left for Trump to deregulate.

I agree with you as well in relation to both Trump and the Greek debt. Trump will have to battle forces inside his own party, but has been given a mandate to follow through with immigration, economy and health care. Foreign relations may not be high on the list other than looking for cost savings. The largest debt for the US is the military and its the same for Greece as well. Varoufakis had the only viable plan to get Greek out of debt, essentially default. Now Greece is urging for some debt relief from Europe supported by the IMF, but the EU is more apt to continue to apply more pressure to Greece to continue to expand it's tax base and collection of revenue at the backs of the Greek citizens. In hindsight, Greece should never adopted the EU currency and kept the Drachma to at least have control of the money supply. It should seriously consider dropping the EU currency as a first step so that prices can adjust to the current GDP of the country. Tsipras has lost any negotiating power with the EU and Greece is stuck with him for the next few year's.

A side note, Obama's visit to Greece was covered in the North American media, instead of showing the mass demonstrations against Obama, the North America media outlets instead gave us a movie on demonstrations against Trump in Greece!! It tells you how the entire global media has been bought and sold.

That tall, strong, beautiful wall has already been downgraded to a pitiful fence in some places. The removal of the 11 million illegal rapist and job-stealing illegal immigrants, has been downgraded to removal of the criminals (which even a weak guy like Obama is doing already). Looking at the staff he is selecting, he is doing the contrary to the swamp draining... you need more?

Poor factman, your bubble burst so quickly lol

I'm happy though that Trump is sticking to all his promises that benefit Wall Street and big corporations (like the conservative judge for the Supreme Court, the cut to corporate tax rates and repeal of regulations for big banks) and even better, the US Congress supports him for those things :)

Of course Trump will fulfill his promises (like cutting taxes for corporations, appointing a conservative judge friendly to corporations and reducing regulations for the big banks) because the US Congress supports him for those things. I hope those things will also satisfy the CE of B92 forums sj so that there is no need for any insurrections!

Technically Congress must approve much, but you overlook that Trump has mandate without Congress. Few Washington GOP supported him. He was a change candidate and was clear on what he wanted to change. The people voted for that vision and Congress will honor it. They will not like some of it, but they will do it.

A number of important things don't require Congressional approval.

Cutting taxes for corporations is intended to re-patriate the $2.3T
sitting outside of our country due to high corporate tax rates. those funds are intended to be used for infrastructure repair which will generate many jobs.

Trump will do most everything he ran on. He has little opposition and people want change.

You should stick to what you know (which is splitting legal hairs bc American politics, economics, and the death of globalism is definitely something you don't know). lol

The Dodd-Frank Act was passed in 2010 to prevent Wall Street from taking too much risk and causing another calamity for the working class like it did in 2008 and protect the consumers. Obviously Wall Street does not like that because it limits its profits.

(icj1,

The Frank-Dodd act was just a response to the outcry of the 2008 financial crisis and the bailing out of the banks at the taxpayers expense.The goal of Dodd-Frank was supposedly the prevention of a recurrence of the crisis, making the financial system bulletproof through the creation of new rules.In fact, the biggest problem with Dodd-Frank-unlike the Glass-Steagall act -is it failed to regulate against the banks from using clients money to speculate on the derivatives market.It hasn't changed Wall Street’s culture, one in which permissiveness, cheating and abusive behavior is too often the norm. Wall Street scandals and crises didn’t end with the events of 2008, or the passage of Dodd-Frank in 2010. Since then we’ve witnessed the Libor price-rigging scandal,the laundering of $ billions of Mexican drug cartels and the so-called “London Whale” mess at JP Morgan, which lost the bank $6.2bn on risky derivatives trades.
If the US had a Real Justice Department that prosecuted the Criminals of Wall Street we would've seen a "behaviour" change. The motto of the Obama Justice Department has been, Too Big to Fail, Too Big to Jail.

Tsipras has lost any negotiating power with the EU and Greece
(Jugoslavija,

I do agree with you that Tsipras has got no negotiating leverage with the EU and he’s just playing for time. However ,I also think the Brexit debacle blows the lid off the whole gaff and creates an entirely new and unpredictable situation. As a result popular Eurosceptic and pragmatic anti-federalist forces at national level will have an unprecedented opportunity to overthrow their complacent federalist elites and kill off their pet projects. Next year’s elections in Holland,France and Germany could be the beginning of the end for the EU. Brexit-type referenda in several other nations will now be far harder to resist and, the polls suggest, at least as hard to win. Other departures, or at the very least a radical re-orientation of where the EU is heading, suddenly seem highly likely in the years ahead.
In time, 23 June 2016 may come to be seen as the moment the idea of a United States of Europe died.

Most politicians are corrupted or corruptible, being in Washington, Moscow, Brussels or Beijing, period.

True that Trump will not/can not keep all his campaign rhetoric after in office even though I voted for him. Possibly, there are minor changes of U.S. 's police in Balkan as well as in Europe as a whole, such as, someone in American embassy in Belgrad would likely loose his job, Serbia's accession to EU would be smoother, etc.
