Context matters

Is this woman FEELING “BLUE”? Context matters. In economics, one key context is Monetary Sovereignty, The U.S. government is Monetarily Sovereign. It controls the dollar, can create unlimited amounts with a keystroke, and can set its value against anything else. Over the years, the government repeatedly and arbitrarily has changed the dollar’s official value compared to gold and silver. Along…

Thank you, Roger. Fundamentally, Trump’s power is derived from hatred — hatred of all those who are not white, Christian, males, who worship Trump no matter what he does. And hatred always is derived from fear. You cannot hate someone without some level of fear. So, Trump is a fear-monger, and the people who follow him best are the people who fear most what he fears most. It is his paranoia,…

This is my most important post of the year -- and I didn't write it.

I’m sorry for the length of this, but it’s too important for editing. Dean Blundell is a terrific writer and he wrote a magnificent article. I don’t want to mess it up. Note the headline: Trump Has Officially Lost The War In Iran And The Great Energy Collapse Of 2026 Is Coming. The article will tell you how a damn fool President, his damn fool assistants, and a damn fool Republican Party managed…

New for MAGAs: More photos of Sleepy Joe Biden snoozing on the job

MAGAs, here for your amusement are more photos of Sleepy Joe Biden sleeping. How did this guy ever get people to vote for him? SLEEPY JOE BIDEN Hey, he’s old and sick. Give the geezer a break. He’s busy all day figuring out how to squeeze money from the people of America. How about that $1.5 billion his lawyer won for him, from his lawyer — he was awake all night dreaming up that scheme.

Why we are stuck in a war we promised not to wage

I tried to convince President Obama to go to war with Iran, but Obama was too smart. From the war games his generals ran, he knew that Iran would close oil shipments through the Strait and cause immeasurable damage. He also knew they wouldn’t surrender. So instead, the U.S. and all the other nations in the Security Council, including Russia and China, agreed on a no-nukes treaty, with strong…

Why are we having inflation?

Why are we having inflation? OK, so I’ve deported hundreds of thousands of good, honest, hard working farm workers, and now there are food shortages, And, OK, so I’ve added the cost of illegal tariffs to our imports, and now China is doing business with the countries that won’t do business with us, And, yes, I’ve completely screwed up worldwide oil shipments with my dumb war against Iran, and…

How the economists have failed America

The economists have failed America by promulgating “flat earth” theories that prevent economic growth or support for the people. Government can be costly, but it’s worth the expense if it works to protect and enhance people’s lives. Unfortunately, today’s economists have completely failed in their duty to guide the government’s financial choices. Economics suffers from a language problem so…

ALMOST THERE

Almost there. In a couple of weeks. Soon. A few days. We have all the cards. It’s a deal to make a deal to make a deal to make a deal. Ask Li’l Marco.

The Iran deal, at last!

“Hey, look at me. After costing Americans billions of dollars in high fuel prices, and making enemies of former friends, and screwing up our economy, I got the deal I wanted.“ “And it’s almost as good–sort of– as the Obama deal I tore up a eight years ago. Yay, me!”“”

Mental Decline on Display; "Sleepy" Donny Trump

Trump’s handlers say he was just blinking. For you blinking fans, here is a lot of blinking to admire. Joe Biden says, I wish I could have slept that well.” (Actually, he didn’t. There is nothing about Trump that Biden admires. Polls show America feels the same way.)

Why you should vote for me

In the quite unlikely event, that I, a 91-year-old, were to decide to run for President, here is what I would tell America: My fellow Americans; you are constantly warned that the federal debt is “too high,” “unsustainable,” or a “ticking time bomb.” Yet none of these warnings take into account the most important fact: The United States government creates dollars at will. It never can run short…

The most corrupt Presidency in U.S. history, and the entire Republican Party and Supreme Court are neck deep in it.

The lies, corruption, and incompetence run so deep that I can’t even bring myself to comment anymore. What amazes me is that I still have friends who remain Trump supporters. I’ve stopped questioning their intelligence or integrity—because they have neither. This article might seem like the final straw, but there will be countless more, as Trump-MAGA criminality will never end while Republicans…

Why does the world's richest man want you to have less money?

For many rich people, acquiring wealth has become so ingrained in their lives that they don’t feel comfortable unless they are searching for ways to acquire more. I have acquaintances like that. They already have far more than they ever will spend in their remaining years, yet they are frugal to the point of absurdity. They tip at the lower end of the scale. They give only minimally to charity.…

One of my favorite magazines -- WIRED -- gets it wrong.

WIRED is one of the best magazines these days — interesting, comprehensive articles about technical subjects. There is nothing like it. But they sure blew it this time. An article in the May edition makes two main points: A gas tax holiday won’t lower gas prices much (true), and the gas tax supports road maintenance (false). Here are some excerpts and comments: Why a Federal Gas Tax Holiday Is a…

This is insane. Where are the Democrats in this?

An especially pointed article by Robert Reich

Robert Reich ([email protected]) published an especially pointed article, today. Here it is in its entirety. MAGAs may neither read nor understand it, but those who aren’t easily swayed by con artists, personal greed or bigotry may find the following helpful when responding to a MAGA rant. —————————- How to Describe this Catastrophe? We must use words that accurately describe who Trump and…
