Smug, mean and contemptuous is no way to go through 2020, friends

How much more convenient than acknowledging that advanced literacy and numeracy is still a shared, public responsibility, the provision of which requires financial sacrifice we’re not willing to make.

Alan Chartock: New York powerbrokers

It’s really amazing how blue-state New York has so many players, both reds and blues, in the political wars.

LEONARD QUART: Musings redux

As always, I muse about the city, which, these days, I explore less extensively.

Alan Chartock: Advice to the governor

Cuomo, people suspect, is still angry with the Working Families Party for endorsing a progressive primary opponent, Zephyr Teachout, in the past Democratic gubernatorial primary — just another example of his living up to the nickname I have attached to him: “Tough Guy Andrew.”

Alan Chartock: The professor grades the politicians

The problem is that New Yorkers really hate Trump and are frustrated by him. I am hearing from a lot of them who just don’t give a damn if an impeachment effort is foolhardy.

Alan Chartock: Democrats on the edge

The Democratic penchant for forming circular firing squads is well-known and it is showing not only in the House of Representatives, but in the New York State legislature.

The Emperor’s New Wall

The Wall was a solution that wasn’t. But best of all, the Wall was an answer to an imaginary problem that the Others would pay for.

CAPITAL IDEAS: Start me up? Or shut me down?

A pause may be warranted but, given Mr. Trump’s tirade about his dissatisfaction over Fed governor Jay Powell raising rates, the president has made it so that a pause makes the Fed appear political when it’s not.
