New pod: NOBODY HAS ANY IDEA HOW TO ACTUALLY REDUCE THE US DEFICIT Right now, everybody thinks someone deserves a tax cut. For the Trump administration, it's: rich people, seniors, and business owners. For Democrats, it's everybody except rich people. In this morning's CNBC interview, Jeff Bezos said nobody earning under $75 should pay taxes. Great, wonderful. Nobody should pay taxes. Understood. One problem with that: Nobody knows how to cut spending, either. Elon Musk and his team of 20something genius lads spent months spelunking through the US budget wrecking havoc and they managed to cut no more than ... 0.1% of federal outlays. One problem here is a massive gap between outsiders' confidence that deficit reduction is easy (just find the waste! it's right under that chair! go to the budget document and control-f for "fraud"! bingo!) and insider understanding that cutting $1 trillion in govt spending is a career-ending, and potentially party-destroying, risk. The US govt is, per the old economic joke, an insurance company with a standing army, where the vast majority of spending goes to health care payments, social security checks, and military ops/personnel/procurement. Meanwhile, America's annual deficit is skyrocketing toward $2 trillion, interest payments now rivaling total military spending, and even liberal and center-left economists are worrying that the U.S. is running out of fiscal space and something awfully freaky could happen if we hit a recession that causes tax revenue to plummet, automatic spending to increase, and the deficit to blow open. "American debt crisis" has been a boy-cries-wolf story for decades in American politics. But as @JustinWolfers tells me, the wolf is getting awfully close to the door. youtube.com/watch?v=OXKAfc…
¿QUÉ VERGA ES ESTO? ¿CUÁL ES LA POSICIÓN "NATURAL" DEL BRAZO, AS OPPOSED TO "ANTINATURAL"? "En el fútbol, se sanciona mano cuando un jugador toca el balón voluntariamente con la mano o el brazo, o cuando posiciona sus extremidades de forma antinatural, aumentando el volumen de su cuerpo sin que sea un movimiento justificable".
@2010MisterChip mister, tengo una pregunta que hace rato quiero hacerte! Muy debatida en Argentina, que es para vos peor, perder una final contra tu clásico rival (champions es el ejemplo) o descender, y crees que el barsa sería más que el Madrid de ganarle 1 final de champions
