    The National debt

    So the guy hands Uncle Sam a stack of $100's 20, 000 miles high weighing in at around 750,000 pounds. Would have to be a strong man with great balancing skills and on a windless day.

    She does not want to be some man's object. I'm thinking there is not much danger of that.

    DeTocqueville had no way to predict the effects of generations of ignorance breeding a welfare state and selfishness. He came at a time of expansion and promise and rugged individualism. I believe now he would be sounding the alarm but would be ignored.

    I thought the proverb was the pointier the ears the bigger the ding-a-ling.

    Yes, nobody wants adults in charge. We are living out Alexis de Tocquevilles prediction. Desperate fools will hope for miracles and panderers will pander to the desperation and ignorance of those fools for the panderers temporary wealth and power. We are a short0sighted, self-interested and self-defeating lot. Tough I could not caution all I still might warn a few Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools -- Robert Hunter

    Have to clean it up first, stage the property, begin by power washing off all the feces and picking up all the trash.

    I believe government incapable of carefully thinking out such regulations. There are always more variables than they consider and government cannot help but succumbing to social engineering and political pandering in such regulations. Murphy's law will always make a mockery of planned economies. That said I have zero economic expertise beyond living for 6 and 1/2 decades and working and paying taxes for 5 decades.

    Austerity in all government programs and spending with a mandated balanced budget which means no spending above tax reciepts and the blanced budget would have budgeted contingency funds for emergencies totally 1% of the budget. Every budget should include 1 % for deficit reduction. All entitlements would be locked in to increase only 1/2 of COLA for the next ten years at least. Any new programs would have to include concommitant reductions or elimination of old ones equal to the projected budgetary costs of the new programs. Federal departmentrs would no longer operate on a use it or lose it budget principle but would instead be graded on thier austerity and their austerity grade would be considered during any future requests for budget increases. Money returned to the treasury by agencies and departments not spendinbg their entire budget would go I/2 to additional deficit reduction and 1/2 to contingency emergency funds meaning only wars, or natural disasters. Finally, and this would hurt me and prove very unpopular with the monied classes capital gains would be taxed as basic income. ( I would remove inheritance taxes in all regards).

    I wonder if her proposal, if it is ever made, will include rent controls on commercial as well as residential properties.

    My predecessors were better men than I. My family bleed and died in the Great War which was not so great, in WWII in both Europe and the Pacific, and in Korea. We had none die in Viet Nam or since. In my generation and the ensuing ones we have had nobody perform military service.

    By an entire one tenth of one percent and that is before the revised number which always seems to go up. Still, it is better than moving obviously in the other direction but I take momentary indications as just that, momentary. Trends take longer to establish. Still, pleased the markets have rebounded from two weeks ago and pleased inflation might be absting, if only a bit.

    Colin Kaepernick is a diick

    Looks like he needed to support his balls.

    WWYD? Ginger or Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island

    Ginger was nothing more than a high maintenance -tease. Mary Ann would have given it her all and then made you a sandwich and a coconut cream pie after. Definitely Mary Ann.

    Kamala Harris promises to go tough on border security

    When she investigated the root causes of the problem did she discover it was democrats and their policies?

    Kamala Harris promises to go tough on border security

    And yet she specializes in doing jobs. Ironic.

    He was told by Stormy and Melania both that size matters and so his obsession.

    Someone is totally sick of Chicago. Wants no part of it.

    I suspect she saw Sam Brinton going for her bag, confronted him, and he did her in and then staged it like a suicide.
