    Thank you for clarifying. I do enjoy our conversation, and hope it remains civil. One of the people I miss conversing with most is Freddie - he's highly intelligent but he can't keep the snark out, and I end up responding in kind and it goes downhill from there. We can disagree - its just fine when we do.

    Tax cuts do have a near term impact in frontrunning. But the belief (which I subscribe to) that cutting taxes stimulates economic response doesn't occur overnight. Stock buybacks are corporate breaks, not individual ones. And I firmly believe restrictions should be put in place on buybacks - not eliminating them, as they are a way of lowering WACC through smart corporate financial means. But executives abuse it because they are compensated in stock packages.

    So Biden flies to the Virgin Islands for vacation and doesn't even wait one day to sign the Omnibus atrocity. It has to be flown down to him to sign. This, from the party and President who claim we have to be very aware of our carbon footprint.

    What a joke.

    Not sure why you believe I had no problem with Trump or his spending. Spending, by the way, that was voted on by democrats as well (because of COVID).

    It IS possible for two things to be equally bad, you know.
