Why is the German system so stable...because they didn't create it. The British, French and Americans did. No foreign strategic policy = no military = no war. A fool-proof plan...right?

Is it a bird? A plane? Nope, just #interestrates rising again.

At this point, most of us know the drill with the #FederalReserve raising and lowering interest rates to play puppet master with demand. Most of us that is, except #Millennials.

The best way to understand #DonaldTrump is to compare him to his immediate predecessor, who is by far the most similar American president to #Trump. In all the ways that matter, they were both identical & opposite.
