    Lets make this simple. The ONLY ones that are complaining are the politicians that are PUTTING MONEY DIRECTLY IN THEIR POCKETS. Everyone else will just scratch their heads as to how we blow 10 BILLION on TRANSGENDER COCKROACHES. Yes, they ACTUALLY spent money on TRANSGENDER COCKROACHES. MILLIONS. Jeez, why are you pissed again?

    QED Alls I'm sayin'. The Fed disburses hella lots of money after conjuring it up from out of nowhere. Everyone already knows this. Knowing that it was precisely X amount here then, and exactly Y amount there when. and so forth, is not going to substantively change anyone's analysis or conclusions with regard to the issue of monetary inflation and its consequences.

    That's why I qualified my statement by saying "In the end ". The destination is t he same, either way. The whole reason "agencies regulate through a combination of the legislative, executive, and judicial functions " is because Congress allows them to do so. Hell, Congress wants them to do so. It let's them "pass the buck" on their own responsibilities, and then "wash their hands" of any problems that occur later by performatively sputtering with indignation over this, that, or the other thing ("How could this happen?! Why is this allowed?! blarg-blarg-blarg!!") - mostly for outrage-farming and fund-raising purposes. Meanwhile, the worst that happens to the executive bureaucrats is that some of them occasionally have to put up with sitting in front of some Congressional committee and being ranted at for while ("blarg-blarg-blarg!!"), with little or nothing else in the way of any actual accountability.

    I doubt an audit would reveal much in the way of precise and direct one-to-one "coincidences" between Fed disbursements and rising prices (as specified by CPI, etc.). For one thing, Cantillon effects do not propagate at fixed or formulaic rates. One disbursement may have pronounced and near-immediate effects, while another may have more subtle and delayed effects (e.g., see the reference to the Murphy-Henderson bet, below). For another thing, there is a variety of factors other than monetary inflation that induce price changes - so even if a clear correlation could be established from the data, the Fed's defenders would simply attribute the phenomenon to the interplay of other things. And then there's the fact that reference points such as CPI are politically engineered to look more favorable (or less unfavorable) by arbitrarily fudging the numbers - for example, via the exclusion of the prices of certain goods (such as food and energy) from, or the inclusion of mystically counterfactual "hedonics" factors in, such calculations. Recall that Bob Murphy lost a bet with David Henderson over the induction of price inflation after the Fed had massively increased the balances of member banks. Bob had expected all that money to be injected into general currency by the banks, but instead, they held on to a lot of it as reserves - with the result that Bob's empirical prediction of double-digit inflation missed it mark.

    Thanks for the neg rep, Captain. You say I can't help myself, I have to make this thread about Trump. But you know you're the acolyte who brought the subject up here. Knowing about USAID doesn't do the citizenry much good if we do nothing about it. Is Trump the river of discontent, or the dam that tames it? It's way to early to tell. It's way to early to decide we don't want to be confused by facts any more, having made up our minds.

    Why? And do you mean people in general, or us in particular? Like you said, these things aren't news to us (in particular), they're receipts. We (in particular) are way ahead of the curve. Why shouldn't people who are way ahead of the curve be already inquiring about whether any heads will roll? If something is to really be done about this, we have to strike while the iron's hot. Unlike most people, we already know how hot this iron is. Why shouldn't we have an adult conversation about whether Trump's going to fix it, and if not, what we can use on him as a political cattle prod? Some people treat him as a god. Well, if you want him to be godlike, somebody has to challenge him to do something besides posture and bathe in their adulation. You have to set goals for him. You have to arrange it so him idolators lose faith if he doesn't measure up. If you really want Trump to be Great Again (or for the first time really, his first term wasn't so hot) help us hold his feet to the fire. Otherwise he'll make his second term as mediocre as his first.

    So, the USAID thread turned into a Trump bad man/hero thread... Again... ugh. I really wish people would focus a little on what is being uncovered here. We all knew it, but now we're getting receipts. The trans stuff, climate change, covid, George Floyd riots, Jan 6, foreign wars, election interference, all of it. NONE of these things are naturally occurring. Our tax money has been used to cause this division for years in foreign countries, and the same apparatus has been turned on us.

    He's a lap dog, yapping in frustration at cats because he's not big enough to chase us up a tree somewhere. He thinks joining the MAGA Cult gives him the Authority of the Crowd, and he's trying to exercise that authoritay. That's what makes him think he's entitled (like a Karen) to have his wild flights of illogic slide by without challenge (like a Karen). Remember when Obamamessiah Cultists did the exact same thing? They didn't impress us either.

    Not unless we get more than a study, and not unless we get more than some Soros-funded professional whiner giving us the pleasure of seeing their head explode on air. I, for one, am not that cheap, sailor. I'm not that easy. I said I'm keeping that at my leisure. Now that Trump whacked the USAID head, what other heads are going to pop out of the CIA Whack-A-Mole machine? Will any of the bad apples in the CIA take the buyout, or is this just a way for them to purge their ranks of good apples? Which of these departments is actually going to close? Which of these criminals is going to get snatched out of their golden parachutes and indicted? How much money will really be saved, and how much of that will escape this fate?

    The reason I have no use for monarchies is it's complete pot luck what you get. If your generation gets a Victoria, you could be in worse shape (assuming her advisors aren't lying to her about what they're doing), but if you get an Ivan the Terrible you're screwed. I prefer a system that at least holds out hope for nonviolent revolution, whether people are generally smart enough to use it or not.

    And I'm pretty sure you meant neither Bismarck nor the kaiser.

    You're right, I should have said the Kaiser, not Bismarck. :/ (My WWI history is rather rusty...I do remember Hitler suffered from mustard gas inhalation during that war and a bunch of other factoids) Yeah, monarchs have been somewhat fascist in certain occasions, but they always had incentive not to destroy their subjects' economy or their own respective societies as presidents and prime ministers or even legislators do. (such elected officials almost always leave office very wealthy and almost never face justice for their misdeeds) Generally speaking, the best to worst scale goes- voluntary association with government>hereditary monarchy>monarchy>classical republicanism>modern constitutionalism>democracy etc.
