#2 How about a wind-fall tax on all senior federal government bureaucrats' income* with additional penalty for any remuneration gained from businesses, organizations, and fronts that they're suppose to work with, to ease the pain of the little people?

* above the level of the average taxpayer.

#4 This asshole is incompetent. He failed to raise rates last year when everyone knew inflation was getting out of control. Then he lied about inflation. Why on earth was this mendacious blockhead reconfirmed? Have we really run out of competent economists in this country?

#5 Trump was the best president since Reagan, and his competence was lacking in many areas. I don't think any prexident in my lifetime willingly had more backstabbers working for him.

The founders designed a great system for honest, competent men who didn't intend to make politics their lives. It was not designed to work with what we have had since maybe Lincoln, and he dealt with a lot of backstabbers too.

#6 And you know what? America's problems are Americans' problems. I'm more comfortable with Herb's "we" WRT US actions around the world than I am with some troll jackleg trying to insinuate he's (it's) "one of us."

#7 Government investigates government's failure, finds its your fault, suggests more government.
