No, issuing bonds is not “printing money”, nor “in essence” the same. Explains your finances. Your explanation reminded me of Kamala’s explanation of how data is stored in the cloud. She literally said
it was floating somewhere over her head, like your understanding of bonds.

Tell me you are in the bag and biased without saying you are in the bag and biased.
I very intentionally didn’t use any of the Republicans discoveries from their delving into the Biden Families finances. I brought up one thing that can not be faked. I believe the final count was 213 the numbers kept being revised upwards.
Do you even understand what an SAR is?
The purpose of the Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) is to report known or suspected violations of law or suspicious activity observed by financial institutions subject to the regulations of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA).
They can be hidden but are notoriously hard to change since multiple public and private entities would need to collude. My statement is that, on many multiples, of times The Biden Families financial account transactions have been flagged as Suspicious Activity. Hence the name Suspicious Activity Report. You can attempt to hide the existence of Suspicious Activity Reports as the Biden Administration did. But they can not be erased without multiple agent(cy) being involved.
So why is that?
Your defense seems to be but look, bad orange man.
I don’t particularly like Trump’s personality, if you chose to look you can see I criticize Trump, I think he has made 2 very bad mistakes that may cause Republicans to lose big.
- I would have liked to have seen a different VP.
- Letting himself get sidetracked by Kamala and identity politics.
But he did a decent to good job as President. I didn’t vote for him in 2016 I wrote in my candidates. So if you want to discuss candidates of both parties who have illegally enriched themselves at the cost of the public. That’s a topic I am willing to discuss. But writing here, and your defense to the corruption of the sitting President is, but, but, but, the bad orange man. It’s not a very understandable position, nor is it one even deemed worthy of respect by me. But since you seem to care, I am voting for Trump this time because " the very existence of our Constitutional Republic is on the line".

I have found this to be true of nearly all of my blue friends, which makes me very sad. They have complete belief in things that they know nothing about.

I find that people who really open their eyes and minds become less and less “left wing.” Being rabidly left requires belief in leaders willing to lie to you.
If a lefty read the book Animal Farm, and really comprehended it, he would stop being a lefty. Or if he read a world history book.

I have to say, Animal Farm was an object lesson to me. On how I did not want to live. All of this Democracy is on the ballot distressed me.
All Democracy is. It’s 2 Wolves and 1 Sheep voting on who’s for dinner. It’s great if you are the wolf. Not so great if you are the sheep.
That 
is a quote I firmly believe. I also believe 
.
Democracy is the tyranny of the compassionate.
I like my freedoms.

Trump described people like you in a campaign speech when he said “I love the uneducated!” I don’t lie!
Sick burn brah. The fact that you don’t understand the single most basic concept of a Free Market Economy is sort of concerning. The federal government borrows money to pay for a budget deficit by selling securities like Treasury bills, notes, and bonds. These securities are purchased by investors, financial institutions, the Federal Reserve, and foreign central banks. The national debt is the sum of this borrowing and the interest owed.
But the point you are missing those notes direct value are only worth what the Free Market Economy says they are. Which is exactly what point @Dave17 was making. A perfect example of which is the Zimbabwe ZIP. The Zimbabwe Government said it had a $100 Trillion dollar currency bill. It was worth .40¢ American USD on the open market. So the perceived strength of the solvency of the U.S. Economy does play a role in inflation and if you did what you say, and I have no real reason to disbelieve. Then you are being partisan and disingenuous.
But seriously, dude. Sick burn bro, sick burn

We have been in recession since the end of 2023. And that is using the technical definition of a recession… 2 GDP down quarters in a row.

Useless crooked Joe didn’t just drop out of the race, he appears to have spent most of his “residency” on the beach. 532 days of vacation while holding the office so far. A pitiful, national embarassment, and it’s on your dime. Calling him “worthless” is giving him too much credit. He’s a career parasite.

Other than the extra costs of traveling to and from and the extra security needed for wherever he goes/has gone, it is irrelevant where he is vacationing, as he is president in name only. He is not and was not ever “in charge”. One day we might find out who was running our country, but it clearly isn’t and wasn’t him.

I thought a president can serve two consecutive terms.
If so, if a VP were ever in office for two terms, that’s eight years, then won an election as president, for two terms, he or she would be in the White House for 16 straight years.
Has anything ever occurred even remotely like that in U.S. history? I can’t think of any recent one.
If Ms. Harris wins the presidential election, but twice, she’d be in the White House hose for 12 years.
If Mr. Trump wins this Fall 2024, would he be eligible and allowed to run again in 2028?; And if he wins, that would be 12 years, but 12 years as president, when we add 2017-2020 (those four years).
In 2028, Trump would be age 82, if he ran and won in 2028, he’d be 86 when he retires in the year 2032.
I’m not sure we ever had someone run again, after a 4 year break from having served one term.
If the man continues to stay sharp and competitive that he is, I’m curious mainly about if any one can “run/sit” for two terms after they already served one?
Interesting numbers and interesting times.
Speaking of the above Popcorn, does anyone have a suggested brand of popcorn?
I’m thinking not of the pre-bagged ones, nor the microwave or even the aluminum pan stove top ones, but those seeds that come in a jar. Then we can add our own melted butter and or seasonings. Something about the Fall season, bringing out such cravings.

Grover Cleveland served 2 terms that were not consecutive. He was the 22nd and 24th Prez.

As President, he is limited to 2 terms whether they run sequentially or not. The one area I would be curious about would be like if someone was the elected VP but had to take over as President, due to the President being unable to finish his term. The VP, would finish the previous term as President and then could campaign for the Presidency x2 in theory.
My understanding is a VP could do it if he had served less than half of a 4 year term.
There is a line at the bottom of the Presidential Service Amendment, that says no Constitutionally ineligible person can serve as President. So that would keep someone from serving all of the Constitutionally available time they possibly could and then say, as a for instance, getting elected to the House of Representative’s, becoming Speaker of the House (which is the Person next inline after the VP). Which could only happen, if the President and VP became incapacitated. So 10 years max… I think. It would also keep a person who was in the line of succession but Constitutionally barred from the President. That’s the operating legal theory but it has never occured so there is no precedent.
