Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:

a voice from the Krugman School Of Economics – this quote from the article is telling
Overall, Trump/Goldman bill amounts to a massive “tax heist,” one of the largest transfers of public wealth to private elites and corporations in U.S. history—at least since the massive taxpayer-funded bailouts of Goldman Sachs and other giant Wall Street banks in 2008–09.

CBIT,
“Also, Penigma must be banned.”
I never ban people for disagreeing, even badly.
Just for bad behavior (see the late Dog Gone).
I’m mostly kidding, and trying to provoke him, but WTF is the point of him being here if he won’t engage with more of us that counter his points? If he needs an echo chamber, there are far better choices than this place.
