How big a stretch is it to think that they might allow negative lending rates - meaning that the government would begin actively subsidizing first the banks, and then the corporations by letting them pay back less than the total value of a loan. It's all about investing in America, right? We all pay more taxes so the goverment can finance the corporations who then send jobs oversees to increase profit margines so that the top 1% of the population can earn a little more money. Oh, but it'll trickle down, right??? Actually, I can’t laugh at this.

The schools start teaching the theory of evolution instead of good old-fashioned creationism, and what's the result? Liberalism, atheism, and math. I’ve been saying it for years.

So many folks skewered in so few words. A mini-masterpiece. Bravo Adam. So many folks skewered in so few words. A mini-masterpiece.

Bunning used to know that it was "three strikes, four balls, three outs to an inning," too. It’s a shame. Bunning used to know that it was “three strikes, four balls, three outs to an inning,” too.

Just brilliant. For a moment or two in the first paragraph I was wondering if it was a news story is how brilliant this is. I think I'll go bang my head against a wall now. Brilliant. Just brilliant.

Two Chapters of Genesis will give us all we need to know about biology, and geology. A few more chapters here and there will teach us everything else, including math, economics, and how to structure our laws to benefit the neediest of the uberwealthy. That will leave lots of time for the students to spend doing important things like GOP fundraising.

It seems obvious to me that a continuation of administration policies would do the trick. But the program should be carefully crafted. It is obvious that one of the current junta's core beliefs is that poor people (less than $100,000 annual income) really don't know how to handle money as well as "nice' people. Therefore a policy of adding a negative interest rate of, say, 10% (which can be easily and quickly found in the Social Security Trust Fund) to every loan of 1 million dollars or more for persons with after tax income of, say, $100,00 would put more ready cash in the hands of the job creators. And, voila! (if you excuse my French) the economy gets yet another boost. I mean, this is not rocket science, you know I agree with “Shelby.” It seems obvious to me that a continuation of administration policies would do the trick.
