Objective of this Blog

It is my intention of posting items here that I find of interest to the general reader who has a concern for what is happening in the United States today. My view is from a left of center perspective. This is done with the knowledge that my sources or myself might be wrong. I will not print anything I don't have good reason to believe is true knowing that someone else may not agree.

First Presidential Debate of 2016

The "fact checker" for The Record newspaper in Bergen County, NJ provided some answers to statements that were incorrect.  First, Clinton stated she did not call the Trans-Pacific Partnership the "gold standard" of trade agreements.  Trump said she did.  Trump is correct.  She said it during a 2012 trip to Australia.  Second, Trump has claimed he can not release his tax returns because they "are under audit".  That is incorrect.  His attorney's say his returns are "under review"; they do not say audit.  Trump says he is audited every year; IRS officials claim no one is audited that frequently. Third, Trump says he got his start with a one million dollar gift from his father.  He really got "loan guarantees of $ 10 million and a 2005 report stated he "drew an additional $ 10 million from his future inheritance".
