Graham is right: it is not “socialism.” It is a handout of money ... vote-buying, we might say.

It really can’t even be called “redistribution,” because the debt is so incalculably stratospheric that there may never be any actual ... anything ... behind this.

I still don’t understand the “Political” rational for McConnell’s actions.

“When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.”

I used to think Ben Franklin said that, but I guess it can only be supposedly traced to 1951. I wonder if it is true, or if we have actually created an indefinitely sustainable and more effective version of the Roman’s bread and circuses strategy.
