Unclear… Trumpkin actually seems more open-minded on the matter than one would assume:

yeah, but hes got to criminalize abortion, and weed seems like it might as well get thrown in there…your uterus is trump territory now.
on the other hand, weed is big business, so maybe ….
if donald is pro weed, i hate weed.
November 9, 2016 at 12:00 AM #803271svelteParticipantTotally, totally shocked by this outcome.
Also totally not a Trump fan, and I think the American public has been duped.
But I’m willing to be open minded and give him a chance. He is now our President. Let’s see what he’s got. Congratulations to our new leader.

What I have found about the current version of weed, it is not like the ’60s and ’70s weed. It is around 10 times stronger and can cause onset schizophrenia. I have been dealing with someone has in the past become addicted to weed. We’ve gotten the person clean, finally. Now that it is legal, we are now worried about what will now happen. In the past, this person has shown no ability to moderate use.If this was the ’60s and ’70s weed, I would not have a problem with people using it. This stuff today is a different matter all together. Colorado’s warning are worth noting.

Increased spending with little or no real economic growth leads to the devaluation of our currency which will ultimately leads to inflation.[/quote]
This is what we got under Bush and Obama (thanks largely to the Federal Reserve). What we need is deflation so that we can reset our economy and put the brakes on the speculative excesses that drive up prices (but not wages, because those are not “investments” that will benefit the investors). We’ve experienced a gross misallocation of resources, and the resulting price/cost inflation (outside of wages) has eroded the purchasing power of millions of Americans and millions (billions?) of working people and fixed-income recipients around the world.

Because when the price of everything else is going down, the cost of labor will stay the same.
Employers will just keep issuing those paychecks…

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/sticky-wage-theory.asp%5B/quote%5DRight, we absolutely need to base economic policy on an unproven theory you found on the internet. Did you notice that there isn’t a single historical example in that article?
Since this is a real-estate board, here’s a question about your deflation solution:
What happens when millions of homeowners see the value of their home decline below the outstanding balance on their mortgage?
What happens when property tax revenue decreases?
Oh wait…I just watched this show…
November 11, 2016 at 9:45 AM #803539spdrunParticipantIn most places outside of California, property tax millage rates are adjustable as a % of value, so revenue might not decline. If there’s no gov’t help for banks/homeowners, I’d suspect that banks would be forced to write down loans vs foreclosing.
