Post Debate Headlines

 

So, first let's make this statement:  I did NOT watch the Trump Harris Debate.  Not interested - watched House of the Dragon episodes with the family instead.  Our minds are made up - we are not voting for a FOURTH Obama term because voting for Kamala Harris is just that - a vote for a fourth term for the Magical Kenyan of Chicago and his crew.  He was a joke back then and he's a joke now - an articulate and clean (Joe Biden's description of then candidate Obama) joke who can give an eloquent speech but nothing more.

I was mostly interested in reading headlines the day after.  Most media outlets imply or simply state that Trump is washed up - lost the debate by a wide margin, no sense going out and voting for the loser, might as well just stay at home or capitulate and go along with the enormous number of Pro-Kamala voters who are destined to win the upcoming election...nothing to see there, just Vote Harris and the "D" ticket and allow the "Joy" to kick into high gear.

This nation's media is an absolute joke.  Exactly how much more bullshit can they heap on the public?  I know that Americans are pretty dumb but you would have to be Joe Biden brain dead to not know that your circumstances today are MUCH worse than they were in 2019.

Inflation That The Fed Once Claimed to be "Transitory" Is Now "Tamed" - My Response "Pffffffttt"

 

But, to be fair to the Federal Reserve, Congress is part of the problem.  It tasks the Fed with an impossible "dual mandate" of currency stability AND maintaining low unemployment.  So, Congress is part of the problem and since Congress is a representative body of the voting public, a large portion of the public is part of the problem.

I've written this several times over the course of several years - after observing the actions and habits of "Great Americans", the U.S.A. does not deserve the privilege of having the world's reserve currency and our rivals (China, Russia, Brazil, etc.) throughout the world agree.  The dollar will not disappear but its privilege of being recognized as the world's reserve currency is on life support (and deservedly so).
