    Since this was drawn several weeks ago, Wiley must have an uncanny ability to predict the future.

    1929, 2007 … 2019 — “Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” (George Santayana)

    Unfortunately, if there are enough who do not learn, those of us who did learn are also forced to repeat it with them, and it is even worse, because we know how the story ends.

    A Democrat steps in, saves the economy from utter RepubliCON collapse, turns it around into economic prosperity. New RepubliCONs come along, ride the momentum of the prosperity for awhile as the lagging economic indicators are slow to turn around the massive economic ship of state, until the iceberg of greed by those who want to REDISTRIBUTE wealth produced by working people to the few richest elites who already have the most is struck, and their titanic pyramid scheme collapses.

    Just the usual cycle…“what goes up must come down”. Hopefully the later in smaller increments than the former.

    Most Americans have convenient amnesia when it comes to economic disasters.

    Not the thousands who directly suffered the after effects. Big corporations have one guiding principle _ if they can actually be said to have one – people and their money are like cattle in a feed lot, i.e., easy pickings, no way out, and a stark future

    Nobody said they should get the same wages what they said is there should be a living wage minimum wage

    As I recall, the last crash began with a tax cut and banks getting rid of a few pesky regulations…. Of course this will be different, it is a huge tax cut for the very wealthy and as much deregulation as Trump’s cabinet can sell….

    We have learned from our mistakes and can repeat them perfectly….

    You’ve got it completely backward. It’s the Democrats who want to redistribute the wealth, or haven’t you been watching the news?

    Reminds me of a passage from “The Skin of Our Teeth” in which a fortune teller says"“I tell the future. Keck. Nothing easier. Everybody’s future is in their face. Nothing easier.“But who can tell your past,—eh? Nobody!“Your youth—where did it go? It slipped away while you weren’t looking. While you were asleep. While you were drunk? Puh! You’re like our friends, Mr. and Mrs. Antrobus; you lie awake nights trying to know your past. What did it mean? What was it trying to say to you?“Think! Think! Split your heads. I can’t tell the past and neither can you. If anybody tries to tell you the past, take my word for it, they’re charlatans! Charlatans! But I can tell you the future.”

    The S&P has plunged all the way back to where it was . . . in July! It’s been an up and down year, but still in the green. This might be the start of something or nothing. Right now it looks a lot like what went on in February and March of this year.

    “Told you so” is easy. Actually predicting is easy too, if you stick to generalities. From here, it sure looks like rain, sometime in the next couple of months… And a distinct market downturn in about the same time frame. (I’m buying gold and selling futures…)

    55 years ago my econ 101 prof told a joke…

    If you lined up all of the world’s economists in a single line, going from LA to NY, each one of them would point in a different direction.
