I chuckle to see people like Chuck Grassley talk about the autopen as if it were a scandal. Having seen his machine at work during my Senate days, he's one to talk! Nearly every Senator has an autopen and have staff, like Frances, signing things. I can still do a perfect "Jon Kyl"
Re the morality of inherited debt. I believe the real scandal here is the way we have taught our children to depend on the government to assist them through life. It's much deeper than passing along an economic burden. We are ingraining in our children through words and actions that taking these "free" things is acceptable. It is not and our leaders should return to criticizing those parents who do.
How long before MAGA notices that Trump’s DOJ hasn’t found anyone to indict for the “RIGGED PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2020…THE BIGGEST POLITICAL SCANDAL IN AMERICAN HISTORY!!”
They take Apple Pay and all kinds of credit cards now, but five years ago, the Boonville Milling Company didn’t. If you wanted their grits (and you do. If they were good enough for the Hominy Grill, good enough for you), you called, spoke with gracious lady in her wonderful Southern drawl, she sent off your order with a receipt in the box. After receiving your grits (white and yellow), you sent them back a check in the mail.

Beautiful as always, Jay! Thank you!
Thank you for the little dose of sanity.

“And what is so rare as a day in June?
A day in April, September, or November. A day in February is more rare.
Was that a trick question?

Like buying lox. Not like government spending.
As always, an enjoyable read, Jay!
