Bottom Liners by Eric and Bill Teitelbaum for July 28, 2023

Most people don’t.

Of course not. What a silly question.

Not as long as I get at least 10% of the action.

My dad told me I needed to start spending someone else’s money.

Yeah, let’s drop another trillion dollars on another gold plated pos for the military while people starve and go without medical care. Gotta polish the bra$$ a$$e$

It’s Congress’s job to do that.

Technically government workers pay taxes on their government income, so they’re spending their own money.

Government spends money like a drunk sailor in port—- borrow, spend, over spend and then repeat!

There must be an opening at the irs…

That’s a stupid question. One of the primary functions of Government is to provide essential services for the citizens that can’t be done at a profit so won’t work by private enterprise. The only way to provide them for individual citizens is to use funding collected from everyone. The problem is to not waste the collective funds on things that are trivial or overpriced, like $1,000 toilet seats for the military or non-essential cosmetic surgery for people who have no choice but to be on Medicare, whichj is almost everyone who is retired. Besides, I spent a 40 year career (petroleum exploration) spending ‘other peoples’ (investors) money, and nature of the business was that it didn’t always pay out, though in balance it frequently did very nicely.
