No truer words have been spoken based on my current observations in north DFW area.

I’m really needing a 3rd party option these days…

Because we have been conditioned to accept deviance as a virtue and the redefinition of tolerance.

We, who know biblical and moral truth, must not acquiesce going forward.

It will be sooner than a decade out. SSI is forecasted to default in 2028 which will trigger mandatory benefit cuts.

No elected D or R politician will tolerate that firestorm. Therefore, we will issue debt through more borrowing and/or QE. Fed rates will need to increase to attract buyers which will increase debt servicing obligations.

And neither party will do anything about it.

In the last 30 or so, this is a function of congress not writing laws and instead letting the bureaucracy institute regulations that were then fought over in the courts. Without the pushback by the legislative branch, there is limited recourse for the executive beyond getting to the point of ignoring the judicial branch as a whole.

Which boils down to, “Congress, do your job!” The federal courts were never intended to serve in their current manner. I would argue they are the last truly conservative (literal meaning) backstop we have.

Presidents do/say whatever they feel like these days with no regard for their limited authority.

Congress does nothing but complain and campaign for their next election.

What are the federal courts supposed to do…roll over and let any president have their way? What if Kamala had won?

So what happens when you have a recession, yet the U.S. Treasury continues to inflate the money supply? This will fix nothing. We need GDP growth (and a lot of it) just to pace our debt serving obligation.

The reality is that DoD and entitlement spending reform is what is truly needed, not a recession. And no one in Washington will do anything about these including Trump.

But y’all keep thinking these tariffs will do some good.

Isn’t our country based on the people voice but somehow you tie this into some delusional populism platform.

The people’s voice is Congress which passed this bipartisan divestiture legislation. What authority does any president have to not enforce a properly passed and SC-reviewed law?

I’ll never understand the Boomer and Gen X belief in misery as the virtue of hard work and dedication.

This is probably a sign that either;

a) your company was planning RIF exercises anyways, or
b) your company balance sheet is too burdened with commercial real estate.

True story. Sid Vicious was attending a family reunion at the Lake Bistineau state park in 1998. Apparently, he had family from Doyline, LA.

I was working at a somewhat close-by grocery store as a high school kid. Sid bought every pork chop, pork loin, and slab of ribs we had in the place.

He tipped me and another kid $10 for helping him load out his purchase. He was polite and apologized to the meat market manager for buying him out of pork.
