I never got as far as Economics 102, but one of the first things I learned in 101 was that if you continue to spend money that you don’t have, you’ll eventually go broke.

Perhaps he failed Economics 101.

Bruce A. Kesselman Las Vegas

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

The functional reality is that members of Congress need to keep Social Security alive or they will be voted out of office.
