Debt and Piranhas

September 22, 2021September 22, 2021

Watch this.*  The history — and insanity — of the “debt ceiling” explained . . . and what it means to us today.

Just as some would rather keep the pandemic going than get vaccinated (because Biden’s asked them to), so Republican senators say they would rather destroy the world economy than raise the debt ceiling.

This is not the U.S. at her best.


*The September 21 clip.  It may expire soon; I plan to post the transcript, as an alternative, once available.

Quote of the Day

"Years ago, in the Carter term, a stockbroker tried to explain what Schlumberger did. 'It goes to 100,' the broker said, exaggerating only a little bit. 'Then it splits three-for-two and goes back to 100 again.'"
