A financially-challenged septuagenarian American here. The interest rate of Treasury is pretty good for a low-risk person like me. In order to keep my $ in the US, is this a good time to buy some? Asking for my grandkids. Please be kind.

'Goodman indicated that at The New York Times he found himself engaged in "almost a process of laundering my own views, through the tried-and-true technique of ringing someone at some think tank to say what you want to tell the reader'

Why are these dry shites waffling about generalities when he just used the entire US economy as a personal shell-game?

Oh he is provoking unease. Ooh, Mary, the vapors, my pearls.

No, he's a criminal puppet the likes of which the world has never seen on this scale or in a position of such power.

Trump on a one man mission to destroy America. Believe what you read, what your eyes see and ears hear.

I agree we need to believe what we read, see and hear, but he is not doing this alone and the Republicans in congress do not deserve to be protected from blame. They're all in on it.

Absolutely. They’ve abandoned their Oath and as such are derelict of duty to the American people, and beyond.
