Good point. If we can just print money endlessly, as MMT suggests, why even issue bonds? Just create an agency with a bottomless bank account to transfer funds to all creditors. We could cancel all of the national debt in a few keystrokes.

He discussed "trophy wives" for a few minutes at his West Point commencement speech today.

And I still can't get past his pronunciation of China. He uses the sustained, almost sarcastic "I!" for what reason exactly?

That is neither my point nor what MMT suggests, but I am mostly sure you know that.

You'll never find a more proIsrael goy than me, but this may send me into heel turn territory.

Heloooooooooo

I saw the door was open and decided to look in.

Hmm. No one here.

I'd hate to turn of the light after 26+ years.

The new Devo documentary on Netflix is worth a watch if anyone out there is looking for something to do...

Ollie, my man.

Funny you mention DEVO, I not long ago heard a song other than "Whip It" somewhere out and about, which started an ear-worm that caused me to revisit "Freedom of Choice" and "New Traditionalists" Some great stuff in there.

If you had the guy who said this

"I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

on your bingo card and that being the method, you should win a lot of money.
