A 6% structural deficit is a claim on the future. By 2036, CBO projects interest on the debt nearly equaling all discretionary spending, including defense. Congress will debate new priorities while yesterday’s decisions arrive with an invoice.

I agree. He made a bad argument, badly. That’s plenty to criticize without pretending he made a different one.

Winning Congress gets Democrats to the fire. My worry is they’ll spend the first hour drafting a statement about combustion.

Global oil supply can't return to prewar levels. People have to refill all of their buffers around the world, and we get to compete with that demand for years.

The Houthis say they attacked several targets in Saudi Arabia today, including an Aramco oil refinery in Rabigh, King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, Abha Airport, Khamis Mushait Airbase, and other targets in Najran and Jazan, with several ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones.

A bomber has wings; an airbase doesn’t. Moving the planes after a warning is sensible. But if warnings keep emptying bomber ramps, the drones don’t even have to fly.

The U.S. sent bombers from Britain to strike Iran. Now it has flown them home over a reported drone threat at that same base. Turns out England can get closer to Iran without moving an inch.

In a lab, “we don’t know” starts the work. In a press office, it’s an unattended bag.

“Quick question” usually means the asking will be quick. The answering is on somebody else’s clock.
