  • Public vs Private sectors

    Jim and Chris, On your podcast today you highlighted the difference between Government efficiency and Private sector (industry) efficiency in delivering and managing investments. This has been an observation of mine for a long time.

    US Global Multinationals in particular and the private commercial sector in general, plan and manage projects very well and within time and budget projections. They are much more focused and disciplined as well as being regulated and accountable.

  • Good podcast for liberals

    The pod should stick to the economy & away from the leftie politics, Jim needs to reel in Chris from his flights of fancy.

  • Good economics, bad politics.

    You old fogies really aught to stop talking about politics. You're showing your delusional old age shine through with your disappointment that Trump won the election. All the political shaming is childish and short-sighted. You're old, you benefited from your generational spendthrift crisis since 2008, and you bestowed the consequences of your crisis on my generations shoulders. You're too comfortable to understand why Trump won.
