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.

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

"The IRS audits about 1 tax return in 100 these days. When 357,598 taxpayers filed the first modern income-tax returns in 1914, they had to sign them under oath before officials. And the Bureau of Internal Revenue audited every one."
