#4 Indeed. I view most information with a filter. With the promises of the computer age and now AI each were presented as a miracle to humankind. The truth speaks volumes otherwise. Most information is glorified spam. So the first thing to go is credibility. So as if adrift in an ocean of word games. I sort things out my way.

#5  "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction"

The lie of the lie? Everyone got really excited when ISS overran the plant engaged in destroying Saddam's chemical weapons, aka weapons of mass destruction.

#15 Times are tough. We'll have to charge a nichel until the bridge is paid for.

Last time I crossed at New Harmony, IN the toll was $1.00. The bridge has been closed since 2012.

#16  July 1, 1971: The remaining original bonds issued for the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge are retired. The $35 million in principal and nearly $39 million in interest were financed entirely from Bridge tolls."


Since then the bridge tolls (currently 9.50) pay for maintenance and operations. 2023 Toll revenue=$146,053,927, 2024 maintenance budget forecast=$103 million.

#17 "Inflation is transitory"

This is the most obvious and painful lie of all. The truth is, inflation is cumulative.

Example: My dad bought a Pontiac Catalina back in 1969...big V8 engine, roomy and comfortable, smooth on the road, turned and stopped on a dime. A car like that would cost over $100,000 today, maybe more like $300,000. That's inflation. It is never reversed. We never get deflation. The goal is to turn us all into slaves.

Another example: He bought his house in 1960 for $15,000. Fifty years later when mom died we sold it for $250,000. Today it would probably go for $500,000. Wages might increase but they don't keep up. That's inflation.

The government causes inflation by printing more and more money to cover their spending habits and graft. They never cut the spending. NEVER!!!
