Think inflation is high now, just wait until your dollars don't buy as much at Walmart.

I think he meant to say "Deadhead fed chair" instead of "Deadhead fed hair", but trump doesn't understand words.

In trying to keep him going from 0-rage for little to know provocation are making all his other brain functions worse.

The financial world snapped to attention in June 2023, when someone snapped a blurry picture of a man who fit Powell’s description – think of a sharply dressed high-school math teacher in the Eisenhower era – at a Dead & Company show in Virginia.

Upon subsequent questioning, Powell revealed that he is a lifelong fan of the Grateful Dead.

“I saw them a bunch of times,” Powell told an audience at a recent journalism conference. “I know every note on every song from that era.”

By “that era,” Powell referred to the classic Dead years of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Among Dead albums, Powell avowed a preference for the 1970 masterpiece “American Beauty” to the weaker late-‘70s entry, “Terrapin Station.” He chided his questioner for posing a choice between two records of such divergent quality.


Powell's not wrong on his preferred album. I'm a Workingman's Dead booster myself. Terrapin, Blues for Allah: blegh.

would want interest rates to be zero. All he thinks about is being to do stuff on someone else's dime and then walking away from the debt when it suits him. He thinks all money is free and some other sucker will just deal with it.

It requires crashing our economy so badly that the Fed has to lower rates to stimulate business investment loans.

what Roblewsky said, Trump is an example of the Peter Principle. Don’t know what it is? Look it up. I would say that many in his administration are perfect examples of the Peter Principle.
