Trump says

[No. 1 son]

"I hate to tell you Puerto Rico, but you've thrown our budget a little out of whack," the president said.

We had a budget? He wants to eliminate PR's debt. Sounds great, if you aren't good at math. I'm not sure I understand all I know about economics.

You know more than that idiot Trump. He speaks for effect, the words mean nothing.

[Dave's Not Here Man]

All I can say is; The village found their idiot.

"How dare you put your our island in the way of a hurricane!"

[minx]

Aren't all hurricanes the fault of the liberals?
Clearly they are out to get Trump for some reason.

OK. Money injection, link, Can you tell me whose money, went where to who for what?

[bobathon]

Did you not read the Bloomberg article? And isn't there some greater overarching conspiracy that this distracts you from?

[No. 1 son]

Yes, Sir, I read it. Do you know where that money comes from?

[minx]

The underground printing presses?
Who actually knows what's going on anymore?

Rob Wittman just sent me a poll asking if I thought we should back out of the Iran nuclear deal - how the hell do I know? Shouldn't he consult with someone like say the Secretary of State, rather than running a popularity contest for it?

It's debt. When we spend more that we take in the US issues treasury bonds ( T notes) which the Fed buys, and we pay interest ( and pitiful principal) on. The Fed may also sell these notes abroad or hold them, as they deem fit. There is no obligation to the Fed to the US govt, as that was seen as necessary to assure independence. There is no affiliation between the Fed and the US government, name notwithstanding. It is a privately controlled banking system. Do they work together? Oh yeah. Where do they get their money? link. From T Bills and foreign investors. When was the last time the Fed was audited? Never. So, the Fed takes money, sends it to another bank, no paper trail, what do you think is happening? Good neighbors, or couls this be happening in other places, other times?

And it only happens during emergencies.

You realize they don't need to fly or drive a machine carrying cash bills anywhere to change ownership of "dollars", right?

[No. 1 son]

You're positive it only happens during emergencies for some reason.  Why do you know that? What is to prevent "banks" from moving resources to places and entities that don't make the news? Do you know what this cash finances? Just asking, where is any oversight? That's all I would like to know. 

[bobathon]

I was being sarcastic. Value can be instantly transferred without any of us ever hearing about it. There's no need to take clumsy, physical, detectable actions, like flying in a yuuuge wad of cash, when the actual easiest way is also stealthiest. So why cash? The article makes sense there.


Either that, or it's to pay for the secret pedophile rings in the basements of Navy ships.

I have literally seen tens of millions of dollars in cash being shipped both in and out of our country in a single shipment. I've even seen the guards miscount and "lose" over a quarter of a million in one package. The smell of money is very real.

And the feel of it in your pocket is even better...
