    Yes, thanks, jumbled that up a bit in my haste. My point there is that a bond purchase or a savings account represent an equal amount of spending on fixed investment. The whole purpose of the bank is to see that the money in a savings account is spent on something through loaning it out to do so. Bonds or new stock issue investment basically represent the same amount in spending. Money in, is money out.

    Stock market investment itself is different and I meant to separate but I didn't. I don't think there's enough time or space to go all the way into a complete market economics course or it's importance to the economy here so I think I'll beg off and leave it alone for now.
    A car is not a fixed investment. It's a product you spend money on to provide transportation. Not an investment. Nor are any other consumer goods.

    Unless you are buying new, I would not put a home or real estate into a consumer good, either. It's "value" is never realized until it's sold. It's use is seen as you live in it. So it's kind of a stock and kind of something you use. But not like a car- which just gets used until it has to be removed from the road.

    Also- banks don't actually loan out your savings- they loan out the value of your savings. So if I went to a bank today and deposited $20k, and tomorrow they then loan out $20k of value, I can still come back the day after and take out my $20k- and the bank is now at risk of losing their $20k loan with no collateral. So lets stop that silly talk, too. The money is mine, and always will be mine. And the value does not go down due to usage of the product, or if the person who has the loan defaults. It's my $20k.

      So the process is what then? The House issues a subpoena. Trump ignores it or asserts some sort of executive privilege. It's then referred to the Justice Department? They have to pursue some sort of contempt charge?

      A federal judge decides the issue? Gets appealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals, then to the Supremes?

      Is that basically what we can expect?

      Time frame?
      Seems to me it would be far more efficient to go directly to the SCOTUS. Especially since it's a direct conflict between two of the 3 arms of US government.

        Because Obama also lost 6 Senate seats in addition to the House. Trump can bull**** because he's winning 4-5 Senate seats while losing the House.

          Won't work with Trump. Every time they ask he calls it a great victory.

                          He was more specific than that. It was more of an "when you do X you are Y" statement.

                          The CNN and NBC guys went far beyond their one question and one follow-up. That is a disservice to their media peers.

                          But Trump still (foolishly and not surprisingly) took the opportunity to rail. He should've said you've had your questions; next. Instead it's just more Trump being Trump -- he loves the conflict and the foil. <-- That's not a defense, that's an observation.

                                If press conferences like that keep up, Trump's going to try and start revoking WH press passes. This is a "cold civil war" now.
