Just who are we borrowing all this money from? Besides our kids, grandkids, great grandkids, great-great grandkids, you know, the generations that inherit the mess? I mean, I know that Congress has robbed Social Security a number of times, etc., but really, is there a bank out there somewhere holding a mortgage note on our country?
I don't know where it comes from. What I do know is that anyone going to Washington D.C. and trying to put a stop to it makes a LOT of enemies, enemies willing to do anything to stop them from fixing the mess.
Makes no sense at all to me.

The business people who actually make all your health care decisions are thrilled to know that the program biases will be aimed at putting more dollars in their pockets. So a few more patients die. That's what patients do, die, or not, who cares? As long as the front office gets your money.

G2 (Moderate) G3 (Strong) Geomagnetic Storm Watch for 01/02 Sep 2025
published: Sunday, August 31, 2025 05:27 UTC
Active Region 4199 produced a long-duration M2.7 flare that peaked at approximately 30/2002 UTC. An associated full-halo coronal mass ejection (CME) was observed in coronagraph imagery beginning around 30/2015 UTC. The CME was analyzed and is expected to impact Earth late on 01 Sep into early 02 Sep (UTC). Current modeling suggests G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storming is likely late on 01 Sep as the CME initially reaches Earth, with subsequent G3 (Strong) storm conditions likely to follow on 02 Sep as the bulk of the storm passes. Stay tuned to our website for updates.
Kill for Peace Lyrics
Kill, kill, kill for peace
Kill, kill, kill for peace
Near or middle or very far east
Far or near or very middle east
Kill, kill, kill for peace
Kill, kill, kill for peace
If you don't like the people
Or the way that they talk
If you don't like their manners
Or they way that they walk
Kill, kill, kill for peace
Kill, kill, kill for peace

Alternately, we could continue with the status quo, and continue to add to the debt while ignoring its import.

Maybe so, or not. Many students were on computers rather than face to face. False securities may have led to brave ( or assumed brave) attitude',

That's why we did our part and bullied our kids at home. I'd hate for them to have missed out on the experience.
