My question is does Booker have $100 Billion in his own account?

Historically black colleges and similar institutions provided services denied by crap-houses, such as Harvard and Yale, for a hundred years. Now, most universities bend over backwards to accommodate Black students. The historical Black institutions are no longer necessary, but I salute their contributions to America.
.
All that said, is this $100 million thrown down the toilet? It’s a good question.

Bull**** headline. A bet is when you risk your own money.

he’s betting his own money, right? (otherwise, he’s just giving away OPM) ...

This is the inherent problem with democracy. This country was founded as a REPUBLIC that, above all else, existed to protect PROPERTY RIGHTS. We need to return to that as soon as possible.

The Founders created Fedzilla, but tried to restrain it. They couldn’t. We probably can’t go back to the Articles of Confederation. But we can’t go on like this, either. Trump is only joking when he talks about sticking around after his second term. But the communist plotters might actually give him no choice.

This country took a bad turn during and after the Civil War. By the early 1900s, the “progressives” were firmly in charge and property was no longer safe.

People wring their hands over the “super rich.” But, in today’s dollars, the super rich of the 19th century were many times richer. We had no “social programs,” no Federal Reserve and virtually no federal regulations on the use of property or employee/employer relationships. The result: Fast economic growth, innovation and lots of jobs.

The fact that $100 billion (in current dollars) is now considered to be a vast fortune is just one example of how debased and over-taxed our nation has become. Taxes on the rich were a plot to limit capital formation in the private sector and empower the government. And it has worked, much to the detriment of our greatness.

I don’t think even Trump can defeat 100+ years of communist treachery in just 8 years. I also cannot imagine how he could leave until the job is done. The conservative cause has to start imagining radical solutions.
