In my new post I highlight key authoriarian attacks

(NBC News) - President Donald Trump's pick to run the Bureau of Labor Statistics was among the crowd outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with the White House saying he was a "bystander" who wandered over after seeing coverage on the news.

Why don't we just get rates down to negative? Before we go there just refinance with lots of bills.

Let's get the suckers who live on Mars to buy the debt while we are at it.

Or just get the Fed to print the money because it's free and just spend that free money.

This is so easy.. #Trumponomics
Trump: "I believe we should be 3 or 4 points lower. So that's over $1 trillion we pay every year in interest. And it's really just a paper calculation. You sign a document and you save almost a trillion dollars."
