    Yes, but why should it?

    Israel can pay for its own genocide.

      No it can’t. Israel can only survive on handouts from the USA.

    Hey Janet, is there anything else we can afford? Maybe health care?

      You have healthcare, it’s just for the profit of the wealthy regardless of the human cost – just like the two wars.

    Everybody knows this, the government can simply create as much new money as it wants to. The real question is, can the American people afford that?

      If only everyone knew this, but our government and think tanks and schools of economics and corporate media seem to work hard to keep it unknown.

    Listening to Yellen is great for insomnia but not much else. I swear her superpower is to calmly talk in circles until the oxygen gets sucked out of the room.

        If I had a dollar for every time I’ve said this about her, I’d have, like, eight dollars.

      Who can keep track of all the beards for the New American Century anymore? Madeleine Albright, Condoleezza Rice, Hillary Clinton, Liz Cheney, Victoria Nuland, Samantha Power, Susan Rice.

    I see we can mark off “double down on wartime economy boost” on the recession check list.
