The economy, and especially the anaemic recovery, has been a disappointment to all but the top 1 percent, and only the 0.1 percent have really done well. When Bill Clinton ran for president he had a note hanging from the wall beside his desk.

Chuck Grassley, said she was unsure of what a "sanctuary city" is during an interview.
If you've seen Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine talk about illegal immigration recently it's probably to attack Donald Trump for being too harsh. But earlier today Rich Weinstein , the guy who found many of those infamous videos of Jonathan Gruber talking about the ACA, uncovered this little seen 2012 interview in which Kaine talks tough about illegal immigration and the need for more border security: "What I would do on the immigration, you know, comprehensive reform is this," Kaine says.
Mike Pence might not have helped Donald Trump in Tuesday night's vice presidential debate -- but he certainly helped his own political future. The Indiana governor largely batted away Hillary Clinton running mate Tim Kaine's recitations of Trump's most incendiary comments, dismissing Kaine's pressure as "pre-done lines" from an "insult-driven campaign."
Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley pulled 51 people from an illegal alien stash house described by officials as "deplorable." Border Patrol agents assigned to the McAllen Station in the Rio Grande Valley Sector responded to a tip on Monday about two apartments being used as a stash house for illegal immigrants smuggled from Mexico into the United States.
The race for U.S. Senate came to Nashua on Monday with incumbent Kelly Ayotte and challenger Gov. Maggie Hassan speaking at the Nashua Rotary Club. Though the Rotary lunch did not allow for the candidates to interact in a debate-type confrontation, Hassan, a Newfields Democrat, used her time to imply Ayotte, a Nashua Republican, was in the pocket of special interests.
There are new security concerns along the Mexican border, as officials say the illegal immigration problem is growing worse. Some are likening it to the 2014 crisis in which there was an enormous surge of unaccompanied minors crossing into the U.S., Casey Stegall reported this morning.

Hillary Clinton's campaign platform has promised to change America in ways many of us vehemently oppose. Let us tiptoe through Hillary's America and see what is hidden behind the rhetoric.
Right now, it's impossible to tell exactly where the candidates stand on issues that small businesses care about because, quite frankly, they aren't paying attention to them. Oh, yes, whenever a reporter or debate moderator utters the phrase "small business," out come the knee-jerk platitudes about how important small business is to the U.S. economy, how many jobs are created by small businesses, how entrepreneurs are our new superheroes, etc.
The principle of what's good for the goose ought to be good for the gander appears lost on Capitol Hill. If the anti-immigrant agitation over so-called "sanctuary cities" for immigrants who are here illegally has any basis in fact, the concern should be grounded in policy, not politics.
Donald Trump admitted in a video deposition released on Friday that he did not consult with anyone ahead of delivering his controversial presidential announcement speech on June 16, 2015. "With respect to the speech that you made, and specifically the focus on Mexicans and immigrants, did you write the statement in advance?" Trump was asked by attorneys earlier this summer.
For eight years the press has treated Obama like the protagonist in some stage play, personalizing his policy struggles as a heroic effort of one noble man fighting an army of partisans, racists and plutocrats. Even the word "dis" -- with its hip, slightly edgy connotation -- taps into the Cult of Obama, which sees any setback for the president as a personal, often illegitimate affront to his dignity.

Congress delivered a stinging rebuke to President Obama Wednesday as both chambers voted overwhelmingly to override his veto of a 9/11 victims' rights bill. It was the first time lawmakers had overturned an Obama veto, with Democrats deserting him en masse to enact the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump got back on message on Tuesday after Democrat Hillary Clinton put him on the defensive at their first debate, and he cast her as "stuck in the past" and himself as a change agent. Trump's speech to thousands at a rally in a Florida airport hangar included some points that some supporters wished he had made before the record television audience of 84 million people for the debate on Monday in Hempstead, New York.
Janet Yellen and the Federal Reserve have pronounced 2 percent annual economic growth - perhaps a bit less - the new normal. Factoring in labor force growth that implies 1 percent growth for productivity and pre-tax wages, hardly anyone is average these days.
