    Some does not matter. All does.

    House builders are presently having a field-day. What that means at any given level of the American housing market remains debatable. Local matters determine outcomes far more so than national ones ...

    LA-LA-LAND ON THE POTOMAC

    Enough of the emotional chatter.

    The rich are getting richer nationally for altogether other reasons. It is what we call Market Aggregation. Which means what?

    This: Buyouts are creating an economy with major-actors who - with no overt collusion - maintain price-differentials in their consolidated markets. Mostly, there is a market-leader, and all the rest follow suit but at somewhat lower prices.

    Which falsifies the market and is illegal for almost a century. But it seems that nobody in the DC seems to understand anti-Trust laws - meaning this (from here):

    America is stoopidly repeating mistakes made more than a century ago when the the first anti-trust laws were created!

    Will wonders never cease in LaLaLand on the Potomac ... ?

    It addresses the issue directly. More so than any after-the-fact band aid.

    far better to spent money through Fed and private banks since that money must be spent wisely and paid back while fiscal policy can waste money without consequence.

    Unusual definitions. "Liberal" says nothing at all about Govt, it refers to an attitude of acceptance of difference and investment in freedoms. Socialists are not interested in Govt, either (given they're collectivists).

    If you're talking about Leftist Progressives, they are neither socialist nor liberal. And they LOVE capitalism.

    Any who support a universal social security system - something which can only be afforded via capitalism. It's a luxury, after all.

    I've yet to meet a liberal who thinks an authoritarian (aka, very large) govt is a good thing.
