A few numbers on Federal Government Spending in 2024:
$6.8 trillion in expenditures
$4.9 trillion in collections
$1.9 deficit spending
$11.7 trillion going in and out of Washington. Suppose fundraising, PACS, think tanks, raise 5% of $11.7 trillion, that’s $585 billion to effect policy. #econsky

I gave X a shot for the past year. Got locked out for “Inappropriate content.” I was already watching what I wrote, maybe not walking on eggshells though. I was allowed back on. A few months later paid $50 for all the options. Good, but I never got into it. Dropped it after a month.
