The lesson of DOGE should clearly be that there are not trillions of dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal budget to be found (except maybe in the Department of Defense) and that addressing our deficit depends on more revenue not finding mythical “waste” apple.news/AaBQvUJOjTuC...

If tariffs boost inflation, and higher inflation boosts interest rates, and higher interest rates boost govt spending due to a $40T debt, could tariffs actually cost the fed govt more money than they bring in? #econsky

New for @broncosblitz.bsky.social today: George Paton has mostly drafted well for the Broncos. Especially at cornerback and running back, but also at wide receiver. But he cannot hit on a tight end. Justin Joly proved that, as have other tight ends he's drafted (Greg Dulcich, Caleb Lohner...)

Bessent is not entirely wrong - but cutting taxes for the rich, exploding war spending, and halting immigration (and thus pop growth) are not the way to do it. They’re the opposite. Bill Clinton’s approach worked. The GOP approach makes it worse - every time #econsky apple.news/A7lI6juz4Sv2...

As a long time EV owner, I’d prefer a focus on widespread Level 1 and 2 options out there over expansion of high cost Level 3 options. The road trip is great - but most charging must take place at home or close to it if you want to save $$ with an EV - which most people do.
