> I don't see anyone mentioning that the United States needs to manage its massive national debt, currently in the trillions, by issuing Treasury securities.

It's very hard to even assume that's a concern of the current US administration, based on not only the fundamentalist goal of radically cutting taxes and regulations, coupled with the fact that it's purposely pushing a recessive economic policy that defies any logic or reason.

The very least that you'd expect is a progressive tax policy that didn't excluded corporations and mega-rich. You're not seeing any of that.



The whining about how social security payouts was going to sink America while at the same time handing out tax cuts for corporations hints at a ideologically driven agenda.


Put clowns in charge and you'll get a circus.

I like the saying, but why Turkish? It's known in English also.


I'm sure it has a lot of sources, but it was popularized more recently as a mistranslated Circassian proverb, which caused a Turkish journalist to go to jail and then was picked up by various English news outlets.

A crown on a fool's head does not make him a king.
