      The secret is Trump will debase our currency to the point where a hotdog stand charges a million dollars for a can of soda. Then our debt will be relatively meaningless and easy to pay off.

          Quite possibly a view into our future. Let’s hope the end of Nick Offerman’s performance is prescient.

      You did … by leaning into it and letting it hit you square in the chest … don’t worry the internal bleeding is slow, you’ll just slowly fall asleep and never wake up again.

      Eh the media is already pretending Trump’s Biggest Tax In History will be turned into a cash funnel to pay down the debt. When in reality not a single dollar will flow there. The media is back to being totally complicit.
