Re: TLT cracks $90
The Fed could increase the money supply (eg) 20% every year and buy all the treasuries to keep them at zero rate(?) Rates for other bonds would rise to over 20% (private lenders wont lend below inflation) but Fed could buy them too. Could they keep all rates near zero forever? (No I suppose new comp...

Re: Interviews With The Homeless
Needs to be easier for people to move to lower cost-of-living areas. Feds should subsidize movers and manage a national jobs database. No minimum wage = no unemployment.

Re: POLL: Number of vacations Joe Biden has taken before visiting Maui?
Biden is demented and no one cares what he does. The Left is winning because they are not naive about heroism. A Leftist foot soldier will follow Kamala or whomever the collective puts up.

The more indictments the better, to provoke Trump's base and take votes from DeSantis. Ron actually does things, eg migrants to Obamas house.

You'll be waiting a long time for a politician who can stick a pure ideology and isnt a "hypocrite." College was a lot different in the 90s. But I'm not going to defend him, sure he's a scumbag, whatever, bottom line is he fought back against martial law while Trump was playing golf.
