what you're referring to is QE and that's long since been wound down. And more borrowing is not the only way to repay those loans. it could be done with tax revenue. Which Republicans have consistently lowered. Not only do they want to lower taxes further, but they also are taking an axe to the IRS meaning tax revenue will decline.

This actually contradicts your previous paragraph where you blame inflation for the problem. How does the fed buying bonds prevent a credit freeze? What you're referring to is QE? And QE is not about preventing a credit freeze. A credit freeze happens when the economy is in a state of crisis, like during the onset of the Great Recession or the Great Depression. It's used to lower interest rates in an economy that is functioning below par. And now you're supporting QE?

Really, Has the inflation rate risen lately? It's been pretty much flat. And it's been very stable in the Eurozone. So it makes no sense to say thata the dollar is sinking because of inflation given that it has sunk sharply against the Euro.

Well, the Fed poured trillions of dollars into QE. And the right wing economists and fellow travelers warned of dire consequences in the form of not just inflation, but hyperinflation. And what actually happened? Nothing. No rise in inflatiion. It stayed low because while the money supply increased. all that QE money didn't enter into circulation.

" But on a separate loan application form provided by the attorney general’s office, Ms. James indicated that she did not intend to occupy the property as a primary residence... " "The letter noted that while a January 2001 certificate of occupancy said the home had five units, Ms. James had consistently said that it had four. A spokesman from Ms. James’s office said that a rider attached to the mortgage clarified that the building was four units and agreed that she had said so consistently in paperwork." https://archive.ph/aZsW1

No, it resisting Government punishment over speech that is displeasing to it. This is a clear violation of the First Amendment.

Here's a link that works. https://archive.ph/wSqvj

It gets even better. Desperate folk trying to tie Joe Biden to his son leaped on a payment of roughly $4000 from Hunter to Joe. They said it was proof of corruption. The Bidens said it was not. Evidence gathered from the laptop, showed in fact that the Bidens were telling the truth.

As for missing the point...you still seem unable to grasp that the 1st Amendment protects speech from government interference. Even speech that you deem ridiculous.

Bangkok Hospital will probably be charging the most of anyone. Still, as I recall, it wasn't cheap. On the other hand, I've known people who have come down with a severe case of shingles. And it pretty much amounts to sustained torture over many days.

“No, there is absolutely no way we are collecting $2b per day in tariff revenue,” Gene M. Grossman, an economics and international affairs professor at Princeton University, told us. “If you multiply all the announced tariffs by the volume of trade with each country, you could get close to $2b per day, mostly due to the tariffs on China,” he wrote in an email. “But that assumes that there will be no fall off in imports with China despite tariffs over 145%, which is a pretty ridiculous assumption.” https://www.factcheck.org/2025/04/trump-expands-on-dubious-daily-tariff-revenue-claim/ And this isn't the only ridiculous aspect of his claim.

Because it's an attempt to punish Harvard over the issue of Free Speech. The Federal Govt has no right to punish an institution because it's unhappy with what is being said or written.

Those levers can't be used if they used in violation of the First Amendment.

And what has this got to do with the First Amendment?

And what has that got to do with denying funds for medical and hi-tech research?

You know lots of people have their doubts about Trump's policies as the polls show. But when you put it like this...it makes no difference. Next time try saying it 3 times. That might be just the magic that's needed.

How exactly are the US taxpayaers funding "No means No" and "Contracts before Kissing" campaigns? Harvard, home the Harvard School of Business, has its anti-capitalist dreams funded by the US Taxpayer? Harvard, a major fosterer of high-tech startups has anti-capitalist dreams? Thanks for the reflexive spewing. How exactly is the US taxpayer funding all this? By supporting tuberculosis research?

Well, if she's going to wear only apparel made in America she might need to consider hazmat suits. Or a space suit.

Whatever the truth of your comments, even lunacy is protected speech. You clearly haven't a clue about the First Amendment. Let me give you a hint: it wasn't created to defend popular speech.

Inflation hasn't been heating up. It's been holding or in a very slow decline. There's no reason for current inflation to be held accountable.

If they have a case against her, no problem. But his turnabout isn't confined to people that there's a basis for criminal prosecution. He's going after people against whom there isn't evidence.

Actually what we have is someone so apparently bankrupt of analytical facilities that he consistently resorts to making allegations about other people's emotional condition. What does it take to make you understand that this is the political soapbox not the psychological soapbox. Maybe there are venues appropriate to your kind of comments, This isn't one of them. I have no idea why you are fixated on military age Chinese? Are you expecting a Chinese Red Army invasion? As for the stock market. It's still pretty far down. The reason that it hasn't sunk further. Here's something from a Marxist-Leninist at The Telegraph that might explain that: "Trump persists in telling the world that he will not retreat on tariffs and that “nobody is getting off the hook”. But markets are heavily discounting everything he now says. They can see that he backed down against Canada and Mexico after discovering that US car prices would go through the roof, and that he dared not pull the trigger on full tariffs against Europe, and that he immediately unpicked his own embargo against China after discovering that a US-made iPhone would cost $3,000." https://archive.ph/1ei57#selection-4567.0-4575.1

Whether it's fair play or not, vengeance is not grounds for a prosecution. And, of course, Trump is exercising vengeance against people there is no evidence for. He's launching investigation to look for a crime.

Good idea. That's what Mussolini would do. Of course, he didn't have the American Constitution to deal with.

What illegal behavior are you referring to?
