Watched Steve Rattner at the end of his discussion

on Morning Joe. He seemed to revel in being right about his prediction that we were heading to inflation. He of course blamed the Fed and Biden for the excessive money added to the economy. Joe chirped in that he was saying this all along.
Neither mentioned that much of the money was destined for those most in need, nor did they opine on how the system is rigged for the rich to extract those monies from the system. They did not discuss how that rigged system has contributed to inflation.
All so they could pay themselves on the back. Joe Scar is not our friend.

Rattner is the more polished of the two and does extraordinarily well defending capitalism. He ignores the dark side, however.
Joe has been on my prefer to ignore list forever.
I used to sell law books in Pensacola in the late 80's and early 90's. I was "the damn South Florida Yankee, book peddler."
I got to know Joe's constituents quite well and how he parlayed them into a seat in congress. He has not given up on that righteousness, despite recognizing some of the error of his ways.
Having Rattner on is like me returning to New England hoping my accent isn't too put on.
I tune in for the occasional cogent guests, but generally startle my wife with my screams at his duplicity.
Thankfully, it is mostly on in background, if on at all.

My grandfather was a supervisor in the Back Bay Station in Boston and my uncle after serving with Patton and another hitch in Korea tried to calm his jitters serving with so many others in the Post Office.
I did a stint for two years while in college with the YOPS.
My grandfather taught me not to even take home a pencil. It belonged to the country.
Learned the value of the Postal Service and the pride of its employees. Get peeved when I hear about how corrupt the government is.
It is the businesses outside that work to finagle, hunting for the few fools mentioned in your piece.
