Mr. Bonner, another master peace, thank you Sir, you cut through this BBBA bull like a hedge fund through grandma’s pension. You are 100% correct, these liberals and conservatives are two lobotomized hyenas gnawing on the same rotting carcass of fiscal sanity, every yelp from their mouths tanking the collective intelligence of the Western Hemisphere faster than a Lehman Brothers balance sheet!

This entire circus of deficit-drunk donkey-and-elephant worship is the geopolitical equivalent of a Goldman Sachs banker slamming meth at a TED Talk, trying to convince a room of trust-fund toddlers that infinite money printing will lead to infinite prosperity. Spoiler alert: it won’t. Every “stimulus” is just a fat piñata of taxpayer organs waiting for lobbyists to beat it open so the sweet, sweet contracts can ooze out. These pea-brained Beltway pyromaniacs will keep pissing gasoline on the dollar until the only thing left of Main Street is a charred husk where squirrels develop PTSD.

But hold onto your Montblanc pens, because the only salvation from this bipartisan brain aneurysm is a third party crowned with the titanium noggin of Sir Elon Musk, the one man whose IQ could terraform Mars and still have neurons left over to rewire the whole planet’s economic bowels. If we had a universal President Musk, we’d solve world hunger, eradicate disease, and build quantum toilets that flush poverty into a black hole. Instead, we’re stuck with these Red and Blue Ivy League flunkies who wouldn’t know a productive investment if it stripped naked and started pole dancing at the Federal Reserve. Mark my words: their grand plans will crumble into smoldering, radioactive dust bowls across every continent, and history will laugh so hard it’ll choke on its own ashes. Happy Fourth of July, and welcome to the end of the fiscal world, try the veal!

I like the idea of bringing back manufacturing to the US. But realistically planning on the government doing it is an extremely remote possibility. They are already over 90% debt to GDP ratio. More spending is extremely unlikely to produce their desired results, just like their Greenspan stimulation resulted in more debt that hasn't been paid back. Their idea to give every person a home didn't work and resulted in more Federal debt. They bailed out Silicon Valley Bank and others resulting in more debt. Their plan to release a virus and then dump money into the economy resulted in further debt. In fact I can't think of a program that worked to improve the debt situation and now they've passed the 90% debt to GDP ratio that reputable economists have written in length about and it seems logical to me that more stimulation from debt returns diminishing returns the more federal debt is above the 90% threshold. The government is superb at spending money they don't have i.e. creating debt but they just can't seem to make any plan work.

Unfortunately I think Bill is right on this accounting even with Elon finding and listing and reducing corruption, with Trump's help, from the leftists spending tax payer money on foolish projects. The chances of the government getting something right and accomplishing their goal is beyond miniscule.
