SEPTEMBER 15. THE IDES.

Took time off with Hillary recuperating. And nothing is on schedule. Except baseball, football games, sunrise and sunset.

Where the hell are we in this presidential campaign imbroglio? Apparently, Trump has tied it up or is ahead. With popular vote. But. We all know it's the states. The electoral college. Thank our Founding Fathers. Though we still have the '00 election in our craw. What's a little cheating in Florida, yeah? And then again in Ohio in '04. Well, the Republicans decided to stop paying down the national debt and started giving money back to the ultra rich. Again. Of course, we had to run up deficits then after 9/11. And yada yada.

Here we are. $19 trillion dollars in debt. In debt to whom? Doesn't matter. What matters is interest payments and interest rates. And income. And bills.
