“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness."

36 Trillion around Christmas I'm guessing?

aaaaaaand 37. clipped me by 14 billion while i wasn't even looking.

back in October I failed to follow through and chronicle 36. So there we go. end of june 37, we'll mark 38 and that will give us a good speedometer reading.

sorry all, i got a little excited when the drumpf broke into the checkbook room. fools thought he wanted to do something about the cash volcano. turns out, he just wanted it for himself.

again, elvis and the like minded economic theories are not wrong from a certain point of view. the absolute size of the number is not really the point. theoretically it could go to infinity. the problem is, the bigger the debt gets relative to everything else, the more corrupt the humans become. and then we go barbarian with the technology and then destroy ourselves. se la vie.

i assume we're all post-political by now. sure, we all believed in things and thought they were worth getting excited about. can we agree now, at this point though, that the only way to stop murdering people for popularity sake is to cut off the "money". we all know that's not going to happen. and no, "good guys" can't ride in and fix it. it is newQlr now. it corrupts anyone who touches it.
