You are joking, right? Today's CURRENT is yesteday's FUTURE.
The FUTURE never arrives, except in the abstract, because it becomes NOW and events then become CURRENT.
And once that moment passes those events, just like yesterday's events, become the PAST.

Seriously? You want to disagree with me so much that you engage in such ridiculous semantics?

Today's current is not yesterday's future, because it first has to become "now," and only then becomes the future.

Does not refute what I said at all, and why do you want to? We are on the same side. Ridiculous!

Abstract - I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Do you KNOW if either of us will even be alive at that future point in time?
It's impossible to KNOW such a thing. One of us could die in a car accident tomorrow and that abstract, possible FUTURE would be impossible due to events in the NOW.

No offense, but you are an ideal candidate for the Keynesians. No, I’m not talking about Barack Obama being born in Kenya....

John Maynard Keynes shaped economic thought in the post WWII era. One of his famous quotes was, “In the long run, we are all dead.”

And why not? The future never arrives. Right?

If you do not think we are suffering the results of decades of Keynesian economic thought, that his long-run (the future) has never arrived because we must first, and necessarily, actualize the NOW at this very moment in order to make the PAST the FUTURE, then I could recommend several past and present economic texts to challenge that idea.

But, what if, the FBI uncovers something from the current and credible, will the rino holdouts demand further review?
