Mr Summers lost his credibility to me with his last comment about Joe Biden: "He got America to move way back towards getting on track after a deeply dangerous and crazy period."

The only interview with Larry Summers I'll ever respect is one that starts with this...
Larry, over the last 25 years you've helped lead the greatest wealth transfer in human history through the complete bastardization of Modern Monetary Policy. In this period you've completely destroyed class mobility in the United States (one of our economy's greatest assets) and oversaw a real income and purchasing power decline for the bottom 25% of the country, while the top 1% increased its real income and purchasing power by more than 1000%. Why? And how much money did you personally make during the last 25 years? Do you see any issue with the poor getting poorer while the rich get almost unimaginably richer, all while you've become famously wealthy?
Should we all guess what his answers will be as no journalist will ever actually ask those questions? Instead we get non answers on how Summers bribed Manchin to get his vote on an "inflation reduction act" that every sane person knows will only increase inflation?
I have really enjoyed Common Sense but it's a good thing none of us come here for insights on how to actually pressure the ruling class. Bari is great, and we need people addressing "suburban mom problems," but I hope she appreciates that this is why so many people still follow Tim Pool, and Alex Jones, and all the people the Bari's of the world look down upon because they'll actually have real conversations about REAL issues that are destroying the fabric of this country. And Bastardized Modern Monetary Theory - and the destruction of of our class mobility and economic independence - may well be the top of that list. It's really too bad we couldn't ask one of the men most responsible for that destruction of our societal fabric why.
Just a guy who likes to learn, and try to share what I've learned so it can be challenged and improved, and shared again, and challenged again, and improved again, hopefully all the way until I die.
But more likely a guy who ends up being a stubborn old man once I lose the joy of having my children in my house challenging me every day... but I try to be an optimist :).
The D.C. hog trough is just that. I don't know how long we can keep screaming "..they're robbing us again.." to one another. Crisis to crisis, they pretend, and America pays. But apparently, not enough. If every mortgage, deed and dollar was converted and handed over to the U.S. Treasury it wouldn't satisfy the venality and megalomania of D.C. hucksters. First your livelihood then your life.
"...the horseleech has two daughters who cry give give...."
His lobbying of Manchin is where he lost it with me, and the Biden comment only added an exclamation point. He wasn't the lone voice in predicting inflation, as any/everyone outside the Dem party establishment could see it.
When a liberal expert said inflation wouldn't be a problem, everybody in the center doesn't believe them because that's their job. When a conservative expert says inflation will be a massive problem, nobody in the center believes them for the same reason. The experts who go against their own party are the ones who stand out.

This shows Summer’s hatred of Trump.
If we are back towards where we should be, it’s time to leave.

Who are you?

Fair. After Trump, any reason politician would move us back toward sanity.
If this is what "getting back on track" looks like, I don't think I ever want to ride a train again.
Ha-ha. It feels more like we are stuck on tracks in view of the approaching train.

I hope we haven't got to a point where people are evaluating policy statements solely on the party of the "expert" making the statement.
I think we are there now sadly.
