I can not comment right now.

I find it humorous that mostly left-leaning rockers held a Farm Aid benefit for mostly right-leaning farmers that voted for the mess they are currently in.

There is no subtlety in your irony. Might as well attack them with pitchforks.

One could even have the farmers’ pitchforks themselves since they no longer are able to use them for hay, straw, and cow effluents…

Definitely “too late”.

With the government shut down, there’s no mechanism to process the “tariffs into bailout” scenario. No legislation, nobody at the agencies, nobody no how.

But at least there aren’t drag queens at libraries, so there’s that.

It is an overarching opinion. Again unless we raise corporate tax rates we won’t see enough reinvestment to grow the economy. We have $37 tr? $38 tr? in debt. It is rising by over $2 tr per year. That is going to accelerate with the current economic management. It is unsustainable. We possibly will default on the US debt.

Bottom line, what I mean, it is too late now. We needed the reinvestment to be happening all along. It is not. It takes time for reinvestments to show up on the bottom line and in the tax receipts.

This all becomes an excuse to cut the programs and blame those who supported the programs.
