    • I think if you get a degree from the University of Michigan it is valuable even if it is something you deem it worthless. Sure you can find some professional students who never really get a job but I doubt they are very numerous.

        30 years ago you would have been right. Maybe even 20 years ago. But not anymore.

        • If my kids go to college it will be to Hillsdale.

          • Nope it is still valuable, it's not worthless. Some of the STEM degrees are worth more but the degree itself is very valuable. If you have a bachelors degree, you have a head up.

            • if you have a bachelors degree and 200000 dollars worth of student loan because it says Michigan vs 25000 dollars worth of student loan because it says DSL community college I don't think most people working with strictly a bachelors means that much

              whether your degree is in business at Michigan or krapture U its still likely to get you a similar paying job. you just have a lot less debt

                    I would agree down the road when experience has been acquired and a track record proven. Entry level, not so much. I have used the quality of the school as a tie breaker in those occasional situations when the final two candidates are basically equal.

What Trump is doing is quite clearly not sustainable, but what I mean is that pursuing growth regardless of how widespread the results are shared is not sustainable, and this is something that's been ongoing for decades.

                              It's also awfully hard to understand your statement about global hardball when the numbers say the exact opposite. Economics has its own version of fancystats, and, far more than in football, these are numbers that can tell us something. Here are some: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/09/chin...in-august.html.
                              Look, I understand exactly what you are saying about sustainability. We don't share a common macro view so, no point in discussing it with you.

                              Frankly, I don't support the notion of wholesale spreading of corporate wealth around to those that don't work for it. I have some empathy with the notion of social responsibility, corporate's general failure to embrace it and see some regulatory role in government to insure corporations deal with their profits in a socially responsible manner so that those who are actually working for profitable corporations don't revolt.

                              What I'm talking about, and what I thought you meant by your post on the subject of sustainability, is that the fiscal policy emanating from the WH which is primarily a stimulus to economic activity and fundamentally inflationary is counterproductive and essentially unsustainable in light of monetary policy, that is targeted at limiting inflation emanating from the Fed.

                              I'm also glad glad you smugly brought up the stats that say that PDJT hardball approach to trade isn't working siting that the trade deficit between the US and China is growing as an indicator it's not working. I don't claim to be an expert on trade but I spend time with people that are and I listen to them. The trade deficit figures you claim are substantial evidence that Trump's efforts to gain leverage with the Chicom's is a bust are flat out wrong. That's because the figures that are sited as a trade deficit are misleading. The focus on growing trade deficits with the Chinese is mostly bunk and weak sauce for those that want to use these figures to discredit Trumps hardball approach with the North American trading partners, Europeans and the Chinese. You're being fooled if you don't understand that. But of course, the superficiality of it that you pedantically throw out here resonates with who you are and what you believe if what you post here is a reflection of that.

                              China is the world's largest trader and is part of almost every supply and value chain. But a team of Macquarie Research analysts led by Viktor Shvets argue in a recent research note that China's trade importance is "overstated" and "distorted."

                              ......... the trade balance used to be more relevant. But now, in an era of multinationals and fragmentation of global supply value chains, he says it can be misleading.

                              China often imports parts from Japan, then assembles a final product and exports it to the US. ..... (experts) see that as Japan trading with the US, but on paper China has a trade deficit with Japan and a surplus with the US.

                              This is complex stuff best left to trade experts. Stop throwing shit out to see if it sticks. You'll get pantsed doing that.

                              There is such a thing as redemption. Jim Harbaugh is redeemed at the expense of a fading Ryan Day and OSU. M wins back to back games v. OSU first time since 1999-2000​ - John Cooper was fired in 2000!!!

                              • I don't think smug is the right word for me there, but baffled perhaps, and certainly exasperated. You're right that I'm no expert, but I've covered this shit for people who came back for more. If I didn't get pantsed in that context, I'm not too worried about the possibility of getting pantsed by you. Here, you're the one admiring the guy's global ballbusting approach, and by his own metrics he's a complete disaster. By different ones? We'll see. I have some concerns about the dollar as a reserve currency, and that's a long-term metric that's quite important. If you've been paying attention here at all you'd see me talking about that a lot more than about trade deficits. Before trying to pants me you should probably actually know where I stand.
