Oh my!


While your "little bird" was trickling in your ear with his little pecker he probably also left a larger deposit on your shoulder that may spread further and faster than the progressive rumor he was trying to start and spread. Apparatchik agitprop is truly a nasty business.

Uh, I think I might be right. See:

Where you'll find:

The non-marketable securities are mainly the "government account series" owed to certain government trust funds such as the Social Security Trust Fund, which represented $2.82 trillion in 2017.

There is probably an law about jokes posted on the internet similar to Poe's Law about irony. My family can always tell when I'm joking, but for some reason they never laugh...

To understand my Crypto-juslim "joke", one would need some familiarity with Sicilianthing's posts.

This should be in it's own thread, not one on "Reparations for slavery", although the GND might satisfy any need for reparations.

Read the resolution:
https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=5731829-Ocasio-Cortez-Green-New-Deal-Resolution

It seems to be a list of aspirations with some suggestions on how to attain those aspirations. It doesn't specify any expenditures, so people will make guesses...

From:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_New_Deal
In February 2019, the American Action Forum, which Bloomberg News described as "a Republican-aligned think tank," estimated that the plan could cost between $51 and $93 trillion over the next decade.[70] They estimate its potential cost as $600,000 per household.[71] The organization estimated the cost for eliminating carbon emissions from the transportation system could cost $1.3-$2.7 trillion; guaranteeing a job to every American $6.8-$44.6 trillion; universal health care estimated close to to $36 trillion.

Notice, this is not debt, but cost. AOC has made some suggestion about how to pay for these additional costs.

I would assume that Medicare taxes would go some toward paying for the $36 trillion universal health care estimate.

I rather enjoy the Secilianthing's posts, and I can understand why your family seldom laughs at your jokes, if that's what they are.

Some people have no sense of humor.

Humor is not politically correct. It's been replaced by the warm feelings you get embracing diversity and giving your money to the government.
