That’s a lot of dollars, huh?  That translates into $37,321 per person over 19.  Sound reasonable?  In 1920, there was $55 in circulation for every citizen, regardless of age.  Since the dictionary defines inflation, as, “An increase in the money supply,” maybe the Fed chairman doesn’t believe in definitions.  Is a dictionary suitable for finding […]

I have always been puzzled about juries being required to have a unanimous verdict.  Therefore, if a criminal’s case is put before a jury, no matter how hideous his or her act may have been, if one juror has decided that there is a possibility of he or she being innocent, they will go free.  […]

Steel, orange juice, pork bellies, corn, wheat, gold, silver, and a hundred other things, are all ‘commodities.’  What’s wrong with being a commodity?  The Dictionary definition of a commodity as: “1. Any useful thing. 2. Anything bought and sold. 3. Staple products, as of agriculture.”  Without commodities, there would be no human race.  We eat […]

(From a column I wrote 7/16/2004) For a hundred years, the French used the Livre as their currency.  Did they create Livres out of thin air, as all governments do today?  Yes, and the French government and citizens used the Livre to pay their bills and save, as do the U.S. government, and far too […]

I wrote this column 12 years ago.  Unfortunately, there is no “Tea Party” now, although we could use one.  I’d change “Obama” to “Biden,” and otherwise, it’s pretty up to date. “In the 1939 film, “The Wizard of Oz,” Dorothy Gale, (Judy Garland), and her little dog Toto, were swept away from Aunt Em and […]

The first number, “2-33,” is the top 2% of tax payers, who spend 33% of the money.  They may earn it by having a great job.  They may have hit a jackpot in Las Vegas, or in some way earned more than 98% of the rest of the population.  Democrats seem to think they are […]

The word ‘antique,’ and ‘old,’ are very similar.  Antique, usually means valuable old, and just plain old, can mean anything that is just that; old in any condition.  Let’s just do ‘antique’ in this.  There car many forms, sizes, ages, makeups, and values of antique. Some really tiny, and others can weigh thousands of pounds, […]

Paper is an interesting item, and was fist invented about 200 BC, in China.  Today, there’s paper everywhere, even though a lot of it has been substituted by digital.  Therefore, I combine them both, because both have very useful purposes, and their use cannot be denied.  In hard times back in the 20’s and 30’s, […]

I hope your 2022 was successful, but Republicans really took a severe blow, thanks to ex-president Donald Trump.  There are a lot of Republicans, who still believe that Trump had the election ‘stolen’ from him, even though he still says that he ‘won it by a landslide,’ which we all wish were true.  Biden and […]

I hope your Christmas was great! Poor little Italy.  They only had 94,000 illegals invading them last year, compared to our close to five million this year so far. Thanks to Democrats, some Republicans, and Joe Biden. Why do they come here?  Admittedly, part of the reason is because their home nation is ruled by […]
