I used to work with a guy who used four letter words constantly in normal conversations. Wasn’t angry or complaining. He was kind of a happy guy, just foul mouthed. I never understood it really.

So if you have too many dollars chasing too few goods, then those goods will be in high demand. Then an enterprising business will simply increase production creating more product and therefore the price will go back down to equilibrium. A win win.

60. Lab grown meats that include delicious lobster, filet mignon, crab meat slabs, etc. How bout a cure for baldness. What I hope I won’t see is a decline in America’s prosperity.

Foreign creditors like Japan, China, and the UK account for 9 trillion of the 40 trillion of national debt. Call me names if you will, but why borrow at all? I know inflation is a concern but if you spend the same amount whether it’s borrowed or printed why would it matter?

Wild Persimmon, Cow Oak, Spruce Pine, Catalpa, but my favorite is the Candy Pecan I planted 29 years ago. It’s developed into a large widespread tree that faithfully produces pecans every year. It’s the only pecan around my neighborhood and many people have complemented its appearance.

while true, dogs get loose sometimes. If they want out, they eventually will find a way to get out. If it’s a Lab, at least you don’t have to worry about it attacking a toddler. That’s the problem with Pit Bulls, especially if there is more than one.

I wonder if some breeds of horse might be better than others. Like a little Shetland pony might be better than a Clydesdale.

You’ll get plenty of regular season games. I don’t mind watching some of the young players seeing what they can do. If you don’t enjoy it, watch something else.

Mung, you’re right. I did a poor job of explaining what I meant. I’m saying I believe our government built up this huge debt is because of the U.S. annual trade deficits with other countries that we’ve had since 1976. If we hadn’t lost so much manufacturing, there would be more money staying here and circulating in our economy. This would drive up tax revenues helping the U.S. government towards balancing the budget.

I believe the biggest part of it is because the annual trade deficit we’ve had since 1976.
The overall United States international trade deficit in 2025 was $901.1 billion, representing a minor 0.2% decrease from $903.2 billion in 2024 according to official U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) data.
You can’t have that much money leaving the country every year and not cause problems.
